I apreciate your answer but it does not help me at all. I knew that already. Problem with Siri is that even my american friends born here, get about 90-95% hit and 5-10% missed. People with accent, they have no chanse. I have a law degree, graduated from a US law school and Siri pickup only about 50% which is totally unacceptable and therefore unusable. I just can't imagine how a company like Apple can release something like apple tv4 without working remote control app. That exclude all no Native American speakers as users and I don't know exact number but they are many, many, many.
I think you're expecting more from the voice recognition technology that it can possibly deliver at the point. If the Siri is set to recognize English (American), it's going to best recognize speech that is closest to American Standard pronunciation (think national network newscaster). Any deviation from that is going to decrease recognition. And not just for non-native speakers. Native English speakers in the U.S. have a wide range of types and degrees of accents. Some of those people have difficulty with Siri as well.
Regardless of you ability to use Siri or lack thereof, no one is being "excluded". The ATV 4 has a functional remote, even without Siri. In fact, in many countries, the ATV doesn't have Siri. The ATV 4 can also use other remotes, including the remote from the previous models.
