Exactly. A lot (not all, but a lot) of IOT is solutions in search of a problem, promoted by a tech industry that sees the adoption curve of existing tech reaching saturation.<p>The tragedy is that so much of the innovation we saw over the last 30 years came from the openness of the PC platform: hardware and software could innovate independently, and there was no software &quot;veto&quot; by a platform holder.<p>But that model doesn&#x27;t allow for monopoly profits, so everyone&#x27;s trying to build locked incompatible platforms.
