It absolutely relies on controlling inputs. It is also technically an extra point of failure in the system, it's also something that requires extra regular maintenance to work properly. It isn't for everyone, because frankly not everyone cares enough to be willing to go the extra steps.
If it were to be used at scale it would work best in multi family dwellings I would think. Single family homes work, but it's a lot of extra shit to deal with and some folks just don't want the extra hassle frankly.
