Even if Amazon allows the Echo to play Spotify, Pandora, and other music services, they still try to sell you music, audio books, and anything that is sold on Amazon.com. Apple is doing the same except their emphasis is on selling Apple Music. I personally wouldn't call Siri crap. It is at least as good as Alexa.
Siri doesn't have anything like Alexa's skills, and might never given Apple's privacy restrictions.
