That's really the crux of the whole idea, in my opinion. Even if IoT hasn't really materialized in any meaningful way yet, the fact of the matter is that the way current internet technologies work, there will be multiple parties inserted into the process, and none of them will be working for you. I just look at how blindingly difficult it is to even understand what my phone is doing, let alone control it, and that's all I need to know that I don't want _anything_ to do with IoT.
