Why is there no more Siri keyboard shortcuts?

Where is the configurable Siri keyboard shortcut in macOS? In earlier macOS versions, Siri had its own configurable keyboard shortcut that opened it ready for a spoken request. But it has been removed in macOS 27.

The setup was:

  1. Open System Preferences → Siri (later System Settings → Siri / Siri & Spotlight).
  2. Set Keyboard Shortcut to Hold Command–Space, or assign a custom shortcut.
  3. Leave Accessibility → Siri → Type to Siri turned off, so Siri expected speech when activated. Apple documents both configurable siri shortcuts and the Type to Siri Setting.

Why is this no longer a thing? I want to be able to type to Siri without opening the app or using Spotlight. I use a different searchbar and this just removes Siri functionality. I downgraded back to non-beta siri and there was still no option. macOS 27.01
