That's why I try to make dumb things smart, not replace the dumb with smart. Like, make the switch smart, not the bulb.

Along with making it backwards compatible. (Ie, control system goes down you can still operate just like a dumb system)

Can't lock people into some service if you do that. They gotta have that recurring monthly revenue.

Aye. I did learn this the good old hard way.😁

I agree with the overall sentiment, but a smart switch would be harder to change than a smart bulb most of the time. Smart switch would require electrical work to replace. A smart bulb can just be swapped. If anything the toilet is a good proxy. A smart flush means it won't manually flush. If they had done a smart fill you could just manually fill the tank with water.
-
To be fair, if you had a water supply you could just chuck buckets of water down your toilet if the flush wasn’t working.

True, but you could also add a switchbot to it. Ugly but simple and without electrical maintenance needed.

Our ubermench tech genius overlords aren't even competent when it comes to their own native fields.

Is this real?

no idea, but the mere fact that the question can be reasonably asked says volumes
