I’m choosing devices based on how good they work with zha and HA and usually have to browse a bit before settling for something. If they manage to implement this properly, I’m all here for it.
Maybe they should talk to the zigbee device compatibility repository people (or maybe they already have).
You clearly have no idea that not all of these smart devices require an internet connection and apparently you have no idea how a home assistant lets you control these things all locally with no internet connection whatsoever.
