Personally see the Amazon Echo as an at Home (great for automation) cloud developed intelligent personal assistant with a side a la carte use with smart phones.
Where as the rest were developed primarily for use with smart phones.
The bottleneck/dependency as mentioned above is related to the transport to the internet.
I prefer still right now the combination of going the direct route for at home automation (like using the Kinect with Microsoft SAPI) and the on and off switching of the Amazon Alexa application when needed (for Amazon services, Googling, etc). (IE: not having cloud dependencies for at home automation)
