Yes it is pretty standard. I turned this stuff off on my Android handset long ago, and its predecessor.
I recently upgraded this laptop to Sierra which means Siri! Except, I looked at what I would have to release for Apple to slurp in exchange and went 'no bloody thanks' so Siri remains off. Startpage does me well enough and typing is less subject to misinterpretation than voice instructions.
