To be fair, Apple needs that messaging for Siri because they outsource the speech recognition to a 3rd party (Nuance, I think). It's not like your phone is doing all of that legwork locally. I'll bet it's the same deal with Google Now and Cortana.

I think Google handle their speech recognition in house, but do outsource snippets to help improve it.
