Since we all are in agreement what can we do besides send a comment to Apple… Hasn’t done any good for 10 generations of the phone so what would make the difference now?
I'm sorry you put all that time and effort into that long post. The fact of the matter is that all you can do is send feedback to Apple, using their feedback page here, http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html They do not participate in the forum.
I selected your other sentence, because Siri did not come out until the iPhone 4S, just to help frame your time comment. Posting here will not help, so if you have already sent feedback, send another one.
