Err, what? As a native English speaker human that's a pretty confusing question to me, too!

Err, what? As a native English speaker human that's a pretty confusing question to me, too!
First, most of the English speaking world is not native.
"As of 2022, there were about 400 million native speakers of English. Including people who speak English as a second language, estimates of the total number of Anglophones vary from 1.5 billion to 2 billion."
Second, all popular models I tested did well with that query, including Gemini on Android (aka "ok Google"), except Apple's.

I am not sure why you go on the subject of English speaking world etc. Anyway, the models you tested with that query, which I am not sure why we think is a good benchmark, are local models running on a wireless device or they use datacenter and only convey the text back and forth?
I'm fairly sure Siri still sends user voice samples to a data center. At least for a while, it used to use multipath TCP to decrease latency over multiple available network connections if I'm not misremembering.
Some modern Apple devices support "local Siri", but it's a limited subset of both voice recognition performance and capabilities.
