I'm with you. When they launch, to demonstrate the functionality, they need some functions, which means partners. Obviously there are near infinite applications of "Alexa, ask X to do Y". Zapier and Iffft have made entire businesses out of a much more annoying way to do this.

I think its understood that "ordering pizza" is just polite conversation for "Alexa activate emergency toilet paper delivery" while you're sitting in the bathroom cursing whoever used up the TP without ordering more.

Based on loose and generous extrapolations of my current mindset, I will be very impressed.
