For years we asked for Siri to be open to third party apps, assuming if this happened we would get what we really want - the ability to control Spotify using Siri.
We were wrong. Apple opened up Siri in iOS 10, but you can only use Siri to control Apple Music. It is against Apple's rules to use Sirikit to let a music app work with Siri voice control. It's amazing how this happens when Apple needs to launch a service like Apple Music and take on Spotify. Sure, you can use Siri to call an Uber or send someone money, but that's something we might use twice a year. On the other hand, we would use Siri to change playlists and artists while driving every single day. It's unlikely Apple will give us this iOS 11 feature that we really want, but it won't stop us from asking.
