This Uncanny Valley of Voice Recognition

I'm with you. Speech interaction might be fine in some situations , but they seem all quite superficial to me. The day I have to dictate a regex to my IDE is the day I hang up my boots.

I would prefer a keyboard in any situation except where environment/circumstance prevents it, e.g. when driving or wearing thick gloves to protect me from -20 degree temperatures.

Some interactions with a computer are much better with a keyboard and maybe a mouse. Those are more edge cases for the creators. So many people now use computers just for consumption or for super simple creation that keyboards and mice are things they don't need.
