I used to feel that way and I only had Siri devices since I had privacy concerns. Somehow I ended up with a free echo dot and it was significantly better. I got some smart lights since my kids could not remember to turn the lights off and now I have that on a privacy network associated with alexa and I've been impressed with the voice recognition. If you have a huge house being able to say 'alexa turn off the upstairs lights' or 'turn on the garage light' when you have a trash bag in your arms is pretty great.
