I think it's pretty disingenuous to talk about the Alexa remote having some bad reviews when it is still rated 3.5 stars on Amazon.com, and the Siri remote, which costs TWICE as much, has 1.5 stars on Apple.com. OUCH! I have 2 Apple TV 4th Generation, and I plan on getting an Apple TV 4K, but Apple TV is total rubbish for smart home. It's getting harder and harder to find HomeKit enabled smart home devices because Apple charges for it, and it's not even close to practical to buy multiple HomePods (especially since Apple STILL hasn't figured out how to stream to more than one device! O.o?) I have 3 Echo Dots and 2 Echo Show. Three are near each other, and the other two are also near each other. I've never really had any issues, but then I'm not a "blogger" living in a studio apartment... I also have a Fire TV Stick 2nd Gen and a Fire TV Stick 4k. I think navigating menus with clicks is both more familiar and easier than that damn swipey Siri remote that has basically no precision. I also don't much see a difference in interface speed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Lastly, my Vizio 4K TV has an Alexa skill, so I can control it directly with Alexa. There's absolutely no way to use my TV at all with the Apple ecosystem other than connecting an Apple TV device. SAD
