I removed all my garage door remotes from all my vehicles - I use the MQ app on my iPhone to open my garage doors now, if you load the app on your info system you can simply use the voice button on the steering and ask Alexa to open your door from anywhere…

Chamberlain removed the ability to control MyQ via Alexa.

Can it detect any voice if you ask Alexa, Siri or Google to open the door? This would be a security concern and the reason Chamberlain removed it.

I use Genie Aladdin Connect. You can voice control it with assistants, but it requires a PIN for security.

I don't know how Alexa would work but for Siri and Google you can set your own phrase to open the door from your vehicle/phone. Google also asks for a pin before opening.
I have my Liftmaster/Chamberlin synced with my Alarm.com security system. That system follows commands from Siri or Alexa to control the opener.
Not having a built in opener was probably my biggest objection to the Maverick. Yes, I can clip one on the visor, but why? It doesn't look good. I have a 2023 so there's the cubby, but a Chamberlain opener doesn't really fit. What I did was buy a small one off Amazon (no longer available), then bought the filler piece for the cubby behind the cup holder. Throw it in there. Not the best solution, but it work. By the way, I need a 3 button controler.
Hmmmm... When you have a three button do you tell alexa to push button #3 or?

I put Velcro on the back of these little 3 button controllers and place them out of sight, but easy to reach.

Why are people so willing to settle for cheap junk instead of spending an hour making a good, permanent solution?
I've installed a homelink in the upper console which is only powered when the car is turned on because the chamberlain remotes are cheap rattly plastic and easily stolen or lost. My remote doesn't clip to the sunvisor and so has to be stashed somewhere, it rattles when I drive over bumps and has fallen out of the dash cubby. It's just annoying and I don't want to deal with it so I fixed it with a $10 junkyard part and a little time.
