Funny, I'd actually want that feature in my phone (S7). It could easily turn Google Now into single-room Echo alternative. Without it, Google Now's voice features are pretty useless - if I have the phone unlocked and in my hands, I may as well type what I want and get to it faster.
I've got it disabled on my phone, and you couldn't pay me to have something like an Echo at home. I feel like it would be another underused tech device I'd have to find an outlet for, and I don't ever want to feel reliant on cloud services.
