The connectivity issue to non Apple devices really is a thing, In an ideal world for me I'd use the HomePod as the speaker for my music as well as my Xbox in the Bedroom. I really don't need an Alexa recording bedroom activities but would like a voice assistant always on in there, at the moment if I have my phone under a pillow / under the cat Siri does not hear me! Really is a first world problem though so it doesn't bother me a huge amount. RimWorld crashing my 16"MBP however very much does.
