Because they’re explicitly deaigned to work that way.
I could install a voice assistant on my PC and have it do everything that the device with the cloud can do (except for steal and sell my data, charge me a monthly subscription fee, spy on me, etc.)
Having it be a standalone device is completely pointless (unless you value having your privacy violated) for the consumer, it only benefits the manufacturer and the service provider (and the databrokers they deal with).
Or you could have additional “access points” around your house that still just communicate with the voice assistant running on your computer on the same network. But no. It must be cloud. Your data must be harvested for the advertisers.
