Totally right. I've been building a skill and you quickly learn how un-magical Alexa is. Most of the effort is engineering in fine detail to achieve some degree of natural interaction for your users. For example, adding in state and awareness of what the user said before to influence the skill's behavior and response. It feels like I'm inventing all that from scratch rather than the alexa platform helping achieve that.
