I have the same options with the Google assistant/Chromecast etc. That doesn't answer the question of what the homepod line's market share is.

"Speaker" market share is irrelevant when 30-50% of iPhone owners have speakers in their ear or on their wrist.

You appear to be intentionally obfuscating for whatever reason. I found something from 2019 that appears to show Apple in a distant third place, with Amazon as #1 in the USA and some supporting research showing similar trends world-wide. [1][2]

So yeah, as I expected it's Amazon's game, Google trailing but a strong presence, and Apple virtually missing from the race.
