yes this is kind of rich coming from the guy who wants to fuck around and install postmarketOS onto a chromeos tablet, but the only reason I really care to fuck around with that is a) it sounds interesting, and b) I don't care about that tablet anyways. It sits unused, it doesn't do shit 99% of the time these days as is. If I fuck it up, it's not a massive loss on my part.
A lot of folks don't have that ability to fuck around & find out. There are a lot of things to my tech that I could modify to make it more secure or de-Google things, but I want stuff to just work - yeah I could install GrapheneOS on the Pixel I plan on getting, but if something happens it's on me to troubleshoot instead of getting to pass it off to Google.
The only reason I care to fuck around with Home Assistant for Zigbee and Thread and Matter is that none of those devices are in my home yet. I don't own a single Zigbee or Thread or Matter smart device sensor whatever yet, which means I have zero switching cost involved. If I had a couple of smart plugs, a couple sensors, a lightbulb or two, maybe a wireless remote button... well, that equation changes things because my setup works just fine like that.
Why throw it all out the window just to put that in my control when it already works? I want to be able to yell at something to turn a light on or off, or have something happen when I leave home, or be able to monitor something from my phone remotely (be it sensor stuff, energy, or a CCTV system). If that shit is in place already... why fuck around trying to "improve" things, leaving me without that system until I get it working again but Differently?
