I totally agree.

It's also great to see how with a little technical know-how, you can avoid paying 100s of dollars for some IoT tech that is reliant on more people buying overpriced hardware for it to work in the future, and instead - go for DIY or cheap hardware (e.g.: SonOff) which gets a huge audience due to their low prices, which guarantees someone like me will spend the time to get it properly supported soon enough...

All of a sudden, the premium product becomes the inferior product, because it will have a smaller market share, and therefore, fewer hackers :-)
