>In 99% of the cases shitty HomeKit functionality is because of crappy WiFi. People are using whatever cheapo crap their ISP gave them for free.

FWIW: I consider this to also be an Apple problem. Look, I have no idea how the Airport Express stacked up to the competition really, maybe it was junk, but it generally met my needs and was better than any of the other options I'd used in the past in terms of not having to fiddle with it much. Now imagine you are a consumer with no technical knowledge - do you buy a device or do you go along with whatever your ISP offers you? If Apple made a wifi device of some kind again, of course I'd buy it because I'm already in their ecosystem.
