Oh, speakers.

I don't need a speaker to be smart. I just need it to connect to my device so I can play music through it. I don't want to talk to a speaker if I can help it, and I certainly don't want to have to figure out how to ask it to play 'd|| tl | | |' by 65daysofstatic while I'm cooking my dinner.

If we must talk to our things, then sure, have little microphone pucks about the place. But the speakers themselves are perfectly fine just being speakers.
