That's the one aspect of modern cars that reviewers don't spend enough time on. Once you're used to how the Voice Control wants to be talked to, and what it can and can't do, a lot of the "buried in the screen" functions aren't items that you'll regularly search for.
I almost never use the iDrive controller or the touchscreen to browse my flash drive (with over 10k tracks on it) for the music I want to listen to, as an example. Two cars ago, I always did as the Voice Control wasn't great at the task.
Reviewers are great at being annoyed at the assistant speaking up when they don't want it to, but as an owner that's something you get past as you get used to your car.
