Can't? Or just hasn't released yet?
What we know for sure, is there's power in being second to market, but better. Right now, Alexa is an experiment. I'm glad it works for you, but it doesn't work for a number of people, who either have to train it to understand them, or it simply doesn't work at all. Additionally, you have to know the syntax for each of the skills (Alexa, Tell Geneva to set to Bake, 350º, for 20 minutes) and the same is true for Google Home (I have one of those, too) "OK Google, play KROQ from TuneIn" - this works, but "Play Longmire from Netflix on my TV" doesn't, even though they say it will. Siri is better at understanding people today, but hasn't made a speaker yet, even though they have HomeKit which works with Siri from the get-go and are just now getting 3rd party services on board for media.
The Siri Speaker from Apple is coming, wait for the TV app to get good for all the pieces to fall into place. I think you're mistaken when you say Siri is at least two years away from being good enough.
