Same on my 24.
Does anyone use a USB for their music (Media Player) and have voice commands work?

I'd still log an issue, it sounds like this should honestly be readily fixable, as it works as expected on other AAOS vehicles.
"This is usually a flaw in the car maker’s implementation of Android Automotive. Google provides a piece of software that can fix this: car-usb-handler. This problem can usually only be fixed by the car maker."

A thought. If the Lincoln software updates are applied via USB, could the default handler aspect impact that? This would be the difference between working as design or a software bug.

That shouldn't be it. What they're talking about setting the default USB handler for files of type music. Things using the "Play" type commands. It does work within a session, they're just not properly storing/using the tick box selector.

Is there any default handler for media (not just usb)? When I ask to play music it always asks if I am want youtube, spotify, etc. It never defaults to any and never saw an option to do that. But still learning how stuff works. And if I do not click the audiowagon setting, it will not even recognize it via voice or touch.

It has the built-in sets of AM, FM, SiriusXM, doesn't have a built-in that works for USB music that I've seen.
Needing to click the audio wagon setting is due to the lack of persistence, that it is ignoring the "Always open AudioWagon..." checkbox to allow it to have continued access/control for USB (music).
Google has the software to allow third party apps to access the USB, with proper persistence, called car-usb-handler. It's on the car makers to actually use it, integrate it properly, in their infotainment systems.
The AudioWagon FAQ I pointed to details this. It took Volvo/Polestar multiple years to get around to adding it, works fine now. GM has the same issue with their '25 Chevy Equinox EV.
For Lincoln we have the '24+ Nautilus - need to log complaints via Concierge or similar, tell them what is wrong and what needs to be done (implement the Google-supplied car-usb-handler software, test that it is properly working by adding AudioWagon from Play Store, see if retains access to the USB across multiple audio system restarts).
(It may well be a problem in the '25 Navigator too, since that now has AAOS. If so, Navigator owners should also log complaints via Concierge.)
