Just as guns don't kill people but people kill people, these IoT devices (smart things) are subject to the same rules as other consumer products: greedy manufacturers, incompetent companies, affirmative action leadership/management, planned obsolescence, and the need to perpetuate the resell and 'upsell' cycle (by putting out an imperfect or less capable version 1 just so people will buy again when they release version 2 that could have had its improvements implemented into version 1 of the product).

I know what the technology is capable of doing. I also know of no products on the market today that actually perform as well as they should, mostly due to the above mentioned societal and market forces.
