Do they all play music? Yes.
So it comes down to sound quality yes?
Would you really want Siris voice reading the news to you? Yikes.

Nailed it. Always the why question and you'll get better tech.

I think the most legit complaint of the Cook era at Apple is the missing ‘why’ from product launches. We get the what and how but not the why. It’s easy to understand why the Echo and Google Home exist. But why does HomePod exist? Is it to drive more Apple Music subs and therefore increase Apple’s services revenues? Is Apple going to position it as the hub of their home automation efforts? Just saying it’s a speaker with breakthrough sound quality or whatever marketing superlatives they’re using doesn’t tell us why the product exists. Maybe it’s as simple as Apple execs thinking they need to play in the smart speaker space and know Siri isn’t good enough yet so they shifted the focus to high quality audio with some smarts. But that doesn’t seem like a big market to me.
