Nah, I use Siri daily for simple tasks. Turning on lights, setting timers, adding things to my groceries list. She’s simple, but perfectly fine for simple tasks.

Do you really want to give Apple access to your house?

For most people, if they want any kind of home automation then they'd have to trust someone, as most people won't be able to deploy and maintain their own system. So now you have 2 options (other than just not automating your home)

  • Trust an additional company

So would you rather bet on 1 company not being evil, or 2 companies not being evil?
