Which ones are those?

My Honeywell one is not Internet connected, but it seems plenty smart. It knows the time and day, is programmable for four different periods each day, can handle all sorts of heating and cooling equipment. It also learns how long it takes to get your house to the right temp, then starts working before then to make it happen when the time arrives.

I saw the photo with a person for scale and I thought…why?

One of the apartments I lived in had a Honeywell wifi connected one that worked pretty well.

Honeywell’s Z-wave thermostats don’t require Internet connectivity to function and control remotely. They do require something like Home Assistant for that remote control.

Yup, this is what I just did. Replaced my two first generation Nests with Z-Wave Honeywells.

A simple open api could extend the life of these things by decades.

I think legally this suggestion makes you a pirate, a thief, a terrorist and a mass murderer.

Anything that supports HomeKit should work indefinitely. I have an ecobee4 that works great with Home Assistant via HomeKit.
