  But anyone with enough technical know how to hack their own devices should also be able to have the technical know how to configure their own router and automation server?

  The crossover I can think of is people who got compromised devices for cheap and can’t afford to replace them — AND their devices can be re-flashed or otherwise jailbroken to behave responsibly.

    exactly this. i have friends and family that have comparatively limited technical knowledge but still ask me about grapheneOS or hacking their quest headsets. you are in the very small minority compared to others, but more and more people are waking up to just how invasive the stuff we “own” is.
