Oh you're talking about a pretend device that this person with replace due to the pretend problem with their current device.

So what's your solution to this problem?

A lot of companies have invested a lot into matter and thread. I’d be surprised if companies started requiring a call home to work. It doesn’t make sense to need that, since a thread network is, in a sense, offline by nature. Only the hub has access to the internet and it doesn’t require access to work, so having a device require a call home wouldn’t really make sense.

I get that enshittification is a real thing but I’d be surprised if it affected smart home devices in the way you are describing.

i dont really understand the point. am i never going to buy any tech ever again, because most things tend toward enshitification?
