Routines are really good, but they are only good for commonly needed commands. If you created a routine for every possibility, you would have too many to remember, much more than even the devices. Clutter would occur and memory would fail and we would not remember what we named all those routines.

The Alexa app is for everything, not just for controlling devices. When you pull up the Alexa app, you have to fish through several screens. Amazon seems to rearrange those screens a lot with updates to the app. It takes too long to use the Alexa app. The Apple Home app is only for controlling devices, so it is laid out much better and is much easier to find what you need.
