CEOs and Founders are not the programmers, audio engineers, speach analysis, and application delvelopers. Apple has all the leadership they need.
SIRI is going to get better and better. She will end up commanding Skynet and legions of Androids (the humanoid robotic ones) and seek all those who doubted her.

This is clearly an important story because no one has EVER left a company up to this point.
Siri will still continue to be light years better then anything anyone else can do; it's not like the whole thing is going to collapse just because one guy, who probably didn't do much on the technical side of things, left the company.
Spoken as someone who has never used it, I see. If you think Siri is useless, then you're just uninformed.

For most people, their life's goal is to become rich enough to not have to WORK, but to do what they ENJOY for the rest of their lives.
If both WORK and JOY are the same, people will stay at a company beyond the need for money. But if the WORK hinders their JOY in some way, like a boss or board of directors demanding them do something they don't really want to do, or they're working on Project A, when they'd rather be working on Project B, then these people leave the company to either start their own company, or be part of a company where they can do their own thing.
If WORK and JOY are not the same, these people leave their WORK, and buy tropical islands or something.

By that logic, every fictional character is an "it" (a figment of someone's imagination) and should be referred to as such. Try discussing any novel/TV show in that manner and see how long it takes you to get confused/annoyed.
Siri is obviously intended to mimic typical male and female voices, so it's hardly surprising when people refer to 'it' as 'him'/'her'. I don't think there's any thing to be gained in being pedantic about it.
Siri should take written questions
Siri should take texted questions also. Sometimes it is too noisy.

I must point out the error in your base presumption: Most fictional characters have a single gender identity that does not change based upon present location or language spoken.
That's what Google does. Siri is just searching Google anyways, so cut out the middle man.
