After a few weeks of living with it I happened to stumble across the culprit while playing classical: Apple Music ATMOS. I had played an older classical piece that was non-ATMOS, and it had depth and satisfying bass. I then happened to play the Star Wars: A New Hope theme song for my boys, and it sounded awful--weak, thin. Compared the two, saw the older track was not ATMOS. Turned off ATMOS in the Home app settings, and the Star Wars theme sounded great, proper body and depth to the song. Maybe this isn't an issue with stereo pair HomePods, I only have one so I can't test that. I would say it is worth turning off ATMOS in the Home app if you run a single HomePod Gen 2 to see if it makes a difference:
Home app > three-dot circle in the upper right > Home Settings. Under the People section, tap your Apple account name. Under Connected Media, tap Apple Music. Toggle off Dolby ATMOS.

Edit: Got the confirmation email as I wrote my post. I am a Verizon customer.
Yeah, Siri is not great, but at this point we don't ask her anything beyond simple questions we know she'll answer (weather, what time does our favorite sports team play, etc), tell her to play music, and issue smart home commands--and she handles those well enough. Alexa may have understood better overall, but we didn't really ask any more of her than we do Siri.

That's less than 24 hours!
SoCal resident here and the tracking shows they are coming from Redlands, CA which is only an hour away from my house.
EDIT: It was my last name - doesn't like apostrophes - but it didn't give me a warning. Stupid. I bought two BTW. Never has these before - it will be interesting to hear them connected to my Apple TV.
