Ugh that is the worst! I’ve been using Siri and Shortcuts for these basic commands and automation, which is still all on-device, but ofc they could break my workflows with an update any time just like you described.

So I’ve been migrating everything to my own stack, with the ultimate goal of eliminating all external dependencies, even the voice recognition. That will probably take a few more years at this rate but it’ll be worth it for the self-reliance.
