Some of us do.

There's a variety of speech recognition categories, some of which work
well. Voice Response systems, for example, with discrete word
recognition work for telephone VR systems, cell phones, cars.

Continuous voice recognition is a lot harder. But it's much more
advanced than the OP claims. Read some of the posts. CVR in medical
transcription, for example, a specialized and expensive app, is
significantly better.

Any random joe walking up to a computer and saying "Earl Grey, hot" is
likely to get the equivalent of a blank look, though, sadly.
