So there are newer protocols under an IoT standard called "matter" that solve a lot of these problems. You can manage them with a local controller like home assistant. No need to create accounts or ship data out to a public cloud. Private, local device adoption and mgmt. I've been an early adopter and there have been some challenges but it's gotten a lot better recently.
I mean, that's great, I like self hosting and running my own basic household server and the like. But are you seriously suggesting that's anywhere close to being accessible to most people?
Apple Home and Google home are matter controllers. So yes. Direct benefit still for those home users is you can mix and match OEM products (like light bulbs) and not need to have a seperate app/acct/hub/bridge/controller whatever for those products. If you don't want to go the DIY route.
Zigbee has already done that for a long time and most of those smart bulbs could already be used with various bridges or zigbee controllers.
Oh for sure. Actually the thread mesh network that a lot of matter capable devices use is based on zigbee. It's like zigbee mesh + ipv6
