As usual, the devil is in the details.

We can see this with voice to text, in which despite in theory being so much faster than typing things out, tends to not be due to these details (processing lag, clunkiness of handling different forms such as whether a word is part of a command or should be added to the text).

Same will happen here. People will get over the hype period and then realize hey this isn't actually faster or more efficient than a traditional tool. Apple knows this as well, it's why they're marketing it as a media consumption device first and foremost, where a lot of these problems can be safely ignored.
