Agree - I’ve been using a set of Eve (from memory) power plugs that are thread enabled - my understanding is it doesn’t connect directly to the internet (ie you don’t connect it to your wifi) but you connect to a border hub (ie an Apple TV, or maybe now an iPhone 15.)

So I guess if you trust apple, you can sorta trust these devices as their access to the outside world would be through an apple device.

I doubt Apple will enable the iPhone as a Matter hub, because it doesn’t stay at home.

The Apple TV 4k 3rd gen and the new HomePods can be Matter hubs (both have Thread hardware).

I suppose I can also always block internet access for those devices. Maybe I'll take a look Eve's products.
