They don't have to do shit. They chose it themselves. IoT market is pretty much pure marketing/hype creation. Current solutions don't make any sense, and are pushed to people who don't understand it.

There are deeper problems here though. Current smartphone model doesn't make any sense either, but this is something even many techies are blind about. Like apps, third of which shouldn't exist in the first place, and another third should be OS-level components. Interoperability sucks because everyone is trying to make a lock-in business out of their small part in the solution.

But I'm just a grumpy techie myself. Until the world gets its shit together (i.e. never), I'll continue to build my smart home out of Raspberry Pis and DIY components, while also telling everyone to avoid anything that's done over cloud.
