It’s not much of a burden, but the problem is that it’s still a burden. Holding the home button was never a less convenient means for accessing the assistant than holding the power button. No matter how you slice it, taking this option away makes for a worse user experience.
At least we aren’t subject to Apple’s vision where they decide how you use your phone for you and remove any options that conflict with their UI philosophy.
I bet there is a tweak that restores side button function to the old way.
