This is not much to do with the speech recognition itself, but with the AI behind interpreting the commands.
I'm indeed also a bit surprised that this hasn't progressed. It's still not possible to say things like "Turn on my living room lights and the hallway as well". It still feels very scripted where you have to say things exactly the right way and in bite-sized chunks to make it work. The same with Alexa by the way.
It's insanely more frustrating because there is no standard list of commands - I'm perfectly fine saying things in the way the computer needs (what is a command line after all) but there's no reference listing what it is expecting so you just have to do trial and error to find out what works.
I would say it has progressed compared to 10 years ago. Speech technology in general to. I remember when YouTube auto captions didn’t even hit close to what was being said we now they’re way more usable.
