Mine doesn't even last as a glorified spotify controller mostly chilling in idle.

What _are_ you expecting then? The hardware doesn't let you replace your phone and it isn't more convenient either. Pixel phones respond to "OK Google" faster than you can press this thing's button.

I’m hoping for an alternative to a phone that I can avoid getting sucked in, can be left around to be used by multiple people, and can complete common basic tasks like ordering dinner or maybe something fancier.

It was fairly clear to me that this is a very, very early product and space. Time/abilities will help refine it for its purpose. The small screen, mic, and camera I thought was a good enough start at a low price point to see what a dedicated machine could be. There’s a whole lot more they can do from here.
