Is this rocket science or something? Why in the world would dictation spell "okay" as "OK"? Is the abbreviation for Oklahoma used far more in the English language than "okay"? Did I miss something here? Is there a reason that the AutoCorrect feature doesn't allow for this? Is it like really difficult to code for the word "okay"?

I guess anyone who reads a sentence, with OK in it would likely understand its context.
Example: Is it OK, if I come over tonight?
Now, who in the world, even people who live in the state of Oklahoma would interpret that to mean a state?
Regardless of your disdain for this, we are not Apple and we don't program anything having to do with dictation. I don't think I have personally ever typed out to the word Okay, ever.
You are more than welcome to share your thoughts with Apple here (but I would never expect Apple to change this at all) --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
Actually the “OK” spelling is the primary spelling.

The same is true for me.
One might make a similar argument to consider using “youse” instead of “you” when referring to more than one person. I have never done and will never do that either.
Apple dictation "OK" "Okay"
