I think it would be a good idea to cut Apple a bit of slack until a few weeks after iOS 15 is released. I am often first to point out how stupid SIRI can sometimes be especially after being around for such a long time and compared to Google Assistant and Alexa which are both a lot younger.

If you take a screenshot you then have an image which at best you can read by doing some sort of OCR on it. Anyways, calls do not drop out of recent call list, but they are not visible after you have 100 calls in the list, but if you delete calls they show up again. From:

It sounds like the original questioner needs to check with the friend to make sure that Siri has internet access. That is the sound and message when Siri cannot get to the server; which may be a problem of the past once iOS 15 is out. And, I find Alexa and Siri about equally smart or stupid

Well, I don't think an iPhone will be damaged if it's in your back pocket and you sit on it. Plus, I think you'll notice it pretty quickly once you sit down, so you can retrieve it before it takes too much of a prolonged strain. All that being said, if you're worried about it then just don't
