Why not both? I think it better stated people want to own their homes. Smart or otherwise. The promises of the tech bros were always hollow. Giving them access to your home and network, while being subject to their fickle nature for the promised convenience.

I love my smart home. Especially with home assistant or similar software. And with matter it's only improving. Affordable, interoperable, local, yours.
