Disclosure: I worked at Mozilla with the core WebThings dev team and still collaborate with devs on this project. I don't do devel on the gateway, but I create "web things" (IoT devices) that connect to it.

I use the gateway to manage my smart home and I love it. Love the privacy. Love the rules. Love the add-ons.

Going forward, I'd like to see companies adopt it yes, but my main focus will be pushing the gateway and framework to be used for STEM education around IoT. I currently work with the https://MicroBlocks.fun team, an awesome FOSS STEM edu tool for programming microcontrollers. I drove a Mozilla Open Source Software (MOSS) support grant to fund the core MicroBlocks devs to build a "web thing" library, when at Mozilla. The combo of the two projects is awesome imho.

If you can't buy an IoT device to suit your needs, you can easily build one. :)

A talk I gave in Sept shows a "walk around the house" demo at about 13:00min. It gives you a small taste of what you can do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a0gXt8m9Yw
