It's unfortunate, but I think the reason all smart speakers are failing to bring in profits is because IoT never really took off.
If everything in your house (curtains, standing desk, toilet paper roll holder, etc) was a connected device, think about the automations that Alexa could enable. Ask Alexa to auto raise your desk just before meetings start, to notify you if the toilet paper on the holder is getting low, and so on. Amazon could easily get creative with charging for these conveniences.
