It applies to almost every tech product... and is a core part of why I'm gradually moving virtually everything to self-hosted (Home Assistant + NAS + hardware, etc).

You'd expect the new Echo to outperform a 4-year old Echo but so far it's not been the case in terms of functionality and understanding.
Sound quality is a lot better which was the main reason for me to change but not being able to control the Hue lights by vocal command is a real pain in the ass.
