Otherwise they’re independent and they sound great for their size. Siri is fine; realistically 90% of what you do with smart speakers is play music, set timers, ask the weather, and control smart home kit and Siri does this very well.
I’m deep in the Apple ecosystem so I also appreciate little things like touching my iPhone against a HomePod to transfer whatever I’m playing, and the ability to use it as a hands-free speaker for calls and messages.
