That's not at all how voice assists are meant to work. Voice icon in cars/remotes are all meant to provide answers or take commands irrespective of what's happening on that device or other devices they control.


In a car sure. On a living room TV?


iPhone siri (iphoone gesture), Fire stick microphone icons perform broad range of tasks irrespective of last task.


I don’t think you can make such a blanket statement.

I think this behavior is what I would expect (search within open app first) and when it’s not present, it’s frustrating.


Quite the opposite, context is a critical aspect voice assistants currently lack.
