How buggy is this thing?

Guys - have to say it - this has been clearly the worst Apple product I've ever used. For a 7th gen device, it's far more buggy than the 1st iphone. Few issues I have, do you guys see the same?
1) When telling Siri 'call professional physical therapy' or adding 'my town', it asks for acknowledgement to call first and when I click yes, it says 'this is what I found on the web'. It does this for all results except my contacts. Even does it for the known pizza places where Apple maps clearly has a phone number for them. All these commands work perfectly when when using the iphone
2) Unresolved tickets like this one where the watch asks for 4 acknowledgements for just one action when using Siri actions

Siri shortcuts always prompt "Allow "<shortcut name> to access "(null)"?" on watch after ios 15 update for any shortcut calling home assistant · Issue #1925 · home-assistant/iOS

For a 7th gen device, I would expect it to be more polished but honestly, it feels worse than a Google experimental product

Is the 8th gen any better?

Thanks

Haven’t run into issue #2, but issue #1 is pretty common if you don’t say the name of the contact exactly as it is saved. Not really an Apple Watch issue, just Siri being Siri.

Apple could put way more tech into Siri. Siri is way behind Google’s assistant.

Didn't I hear that Apple hired some some Google's people just to work on Siri? Maybe I just imagined that. That doesn't mean that it would suddenly be worlds better, I guess.

Siri could be so much more.

Are you confusing the device itself with the OS running on it? Sounds like those are all software/firmware issues.
