I doubt that. Look at all these devices that rely on cloud connections. Be it your brand new burglary alarm system, your Tesla S, your new home automation system, your Samsung fridge with a display, etc. ...if the company stops the support or goes out of business, your device is more or less an expensive brick. And then there is planned obsolescence, given the internet connection such companies can turn on the kill switch or release updates that add new features but make the older devices so slow that you will have to buy a new one.

There was a recent story on HN about first generation Samsung smart fridges that stopped working correctly after a software update.
