iOS Focus is incomprehensible.

I'm not in the car. Why does my phone think I'm in the car? Sure I can turn it off manually but it'll just come back again. There's no rule I can find that would switch it on while I'm in the living room but this time I actually saw it switch on while sitting on the sofa. Where did someone at Apple get the idea from that "focus" requires what amounts to a small development environment with chained rules of logic that interact bizarrely with Apple's apology for an AI?
