The big device manufacturers DON'T WANT INTEROPERABILITY. They want you nailed down to their ecosystem and hit you with planned obsolescence. Like most anything else in the economy, they want premium pricing. If you adopt open standards, then you're competing with everyone else but now on price. The majority of device makers don't want to do that. THAT is the problem with the smart home.

And it won't show up in court either. But now MAGAs are going to run around screaming about "indisputable evidence of innocence!" Which was the whole point. Just like his healthcare and infrastructure plans.

Expecting ideological consistency from a small country fighting for it's very existence against a much larger country is always going to lead to disappointment.
