Support/Disagree with avoiding getting into 2025 private Smart Home decision?

I've recently pulled the plug on zigbee devices, Thread/Matter devices after how many days of spamming LLMs with questions about the whole f**ed up ecosystem and now I'm just left with a Home Assistant Green and some Tuya wifi bulbs that all suck at integrating with it lmao.

As for why: I was excited to do a local, private, non-dependent-on-tech-conglomerates simple +-motion = +-light setup, then the deeper into the rabbithole you go you find out things like

• the less shitty motion sensors are from companies/manufacturer's​ which are just now moving on from Zigbee onto Matter + Thread & how we can't just expect the radios/coordinators to intercept multiple protocols at once..
• Z Wave pops in, says it's cool, then immediately leaves after you see the prices & limited devices supporting it
• Then you have to spend an hour figuring out wtf Matter + Thread even is...
• Then you do that & are like cool ill get a ZBT2, then figure out that you need some BS thread border router
• BOOM zigbee 4.0 & its lower band suzi are actually coming out soon?

At this point I've learned way too many terms and ended up at the same idea i started out with that the private, affordable, relatively future-proofed Smart Home just doesnt exist yet. Am i wrong?
