Speaking is tiring. And generally also slower than typing.

I very much doubt that speaking is slower than typing, given that basically only stenographers can transcribe things in real time, and that's by using special technique.

Try typing for 4h and talking for 4h.

Leaving aside the problem that you can no longer share a space if you interact by talking.

Talking is still faster, and I can do it while my hands and eyes are occupied, so I definitely don't see typing ever being the preferred interface. You'd never type to interact with an assistant while driving.

Subjective. I much prefer written interactions to spoken

A keyboard is really nice input method, with current technology

It’s also easier to have greater precision over what one says when communicating through text vs speech

Also a lot more flexible over how you use it. Voice communication is difficult on public transport, around sleeping people, in a busy office, etc.

That said, voice can be better for people and situations where typing is hard.
