I wonder if the Thread/Matter standards will be able to improve on this once adopted. At least they provide open standards and don't require cloud components for supported devices to communicate with your (pocket and otherwise) computers.

Previous standards didn't require this either, and yet every single manufacturer made their devices only work through an internet-connected hub.
If the device didn't incorporate zigbee, which has been around for years and years now, why would it incorporate Thread/Matter?
