Apple is using third parties to help make Siri better not to make money.

And let's be clear we don't know the contract between Apple and these companies. Given Apple's track record it should have numerous privacy conditions.

The government sets the rules, companies just play the game. Changing the laws an tax rules are the most direct way to influence the behaviour of businesses.
