I'd rather have properly working accessories that connect using Thread (not Wi-Fi) to one another and work without requiring a separate app. Currently almost every manufacturer requires their own proprietary bridge or they want to connect directly to Wi-Fi.

Give me a button/switch, climate sensors (Eve Room comes to mind as it has Thread but it's a PitA in some other ways), thermostats that can adjust based on an external climate sensor, lightbulbs etc.

Apple TVs and HomePods already work fine as a "Home hub", I don't need a separate, central display.
