> I generally like Siri and rarely experience bugs

This is mind-blowing to me because I'd guess that ~50% of my interactions with Siri are buggy. I mostly use it through CarPlay.

It even fails to call the correct contact in my phone, which should be the easiest thing it does.

I'd argue that microphones in the car are laughably bad, which probably hurts recognition. But it should be better.

A) This happens whether in the car or not, and in the car I'm often using AirPods to get better noise cancellation. There's no excuse for this. I could talk to my Pixel 5 while driving from across the car.

B) It's not always a recognition thing. Siri often knows what I said and has a completely baffling response to it.
