...why I want to keep my HA voice control under MY control. Not the only reason mind you (privacy being the primary) but just another great example.

So a couple weeks ago we have these things adding new movie releases to your daily interests if you care or not (but oh...that wasn't a paid ad...don't worry). Before that was the confirmation that they store a certain amount of buffered conversation all the time (I'm sure everyone turns their assistant off before discussing private/personal/financial/medical matters in the same room). There were pranks of people triggering assistants by saying certain things on the radio or videos, and now commecials are directly leveraging these.
I am absolutely the first to say I'd love the power and flexibility of the Google device but never unless it's under my control, not the other way around. I know the HS voice control is not nearly as capable but it's the only solution I'm going to allow in my home.
