They mentioned Siri for example, said it keeps collecting data even if you tell it to stop. All you can do is turn off the voice commands.

Because Siri is the engine behind all voice commands to the phone. If you use voice to text, like I am right now, that relies on Siri. So you can turn off the search queries, but the engine still has to work if you want it to recognise your voice for anything, and it’s also the AI behind transcribing voicemails and voice memos.
