Speculation: Android developers are Star Trek fans, Apple developers are Star Wars fans.
Android has had voice actions for a while, but they’re all just commands, like the ship’s computers in Star Trek: “Computer, navigate to Starfleet Academy!” “Computer, listen to Klingon opera!”
iPhone voice controls, on the other hand, make an effort at natural language processing and talk back, like the droids in Star Wars: “What’s your favorite color?” “My favorite color is... well, I don’t know how to say it in your language. It’s sort of greenish, but with more dimensions.”
