I don't think it is relaxed. Your post said you said "Alexis" multiple times, and that it didn't recognize it as the activation word any of the times. To me, that isn't relaxed.

Maybe your definition of "quite often" is different then mine. I would say I get the a mis-activation once a week, and I probably watch TV 2 hours a day. I've never had it mis-activate listening to music. I don't even recall Alexa activating when there is a commercial for Alexa.

And it's interesting how Alexa reacts differently to different people. I just tried changing the wake word to Echo. It replies to Echo. It didn't reply to Jello, mellow, Evo, ...
