This mindset is exactly why these assistants are bad. Start with the UX then work backwards from there and make it happen.
If you expect more, than your problem does not lie with voice assistants, it lies with search technology itself. "Expecting" these questions to be answerable is unrealistic given current capabilities. Working backwards from the UX would produce nothing better because your expectations are thwarted not by poor design, but by the limits of state of the art technology.
