> Unless you live in a mansion where the distance from devices becomes significant How do I check my cameras from work? When I realize I didn't remember to record my favorite program once I reach work, how do I fix that? > couldn't your "Home PC/Tablet/phone" connect to your IoT device via bluetooth or on the subnet? Not every customer has a NAT router setup at home. > The cost of slightly lower ease-of-use (which can be mitigated by good OS support) Lower hanging fruit would be not leaving a telnet server open on the box in the first place, which is apparently already more work than some of these companies are willing to invest. And I'm not sure how good OS support is supposed to make up for the lack of a NAT router, or how you're supposed to limit things to your home network when you want to access them from work - or how those two fundamentally incompatible goals are supposed to be made compatible by "good OS support".
