Ugh, not this voice control BS again. It's like the people who pop up every once in a while asking why there isn't a "natural English" programming language. It's because human language is imprecise and full of nuance. To describe something to the precision needed for a computer to take action and actually do the thing you want it to do, you have to be so ridiculously verbose in your description that it would take 10-100x longer than just clicking a button with your mouse or typing a command on the keyboard.
Have none of these people ever sat behind someone operating a computer and tried to instruct them to do something even moderately complex? About 5 minutes in I'm usually tearing my hear out screaming "JUST LET ME SIT IN THE CHAIR AND DO IT MYSELF!"
