The stagnancy of digital assistants has been truly shocking to me. I remember when Siri was first released when I was in high school, I figured that in 10 or so years, it would surely be well advanced. Turns out, it barely does anything more than when it was released and hasn’t had a proper update in years.

Totally agree. But I think the amount of work needed to get the current (past) technology to be much better was too much effort for too little gain. They're basically just search engines fueled mostly by top results which is generally a paid position to be in.
Automation is certainly slow too, not sure why. Just not enough customers maybe.
A new wave of digital assistant with language models is most likely the advancement you envisioned and it'll happen relatively quickly I bet.
