While I don't like this new development, I will drop in one data point: I bought my first Sonos devices more than 11 years ago, and over this time they all received software updates with increasing functionality. Think about it: my first Sonos players were bought in the pre-iPhone times. A lot has changed in the tech world since then. This is something other manufacturers could learn from. It seems these days most products are launched by marketing teams: fire and forget, the moment the product is out the door, all software development ceases and it never gets updated. I do hope they reconsider the new privacy policy, though. It's worrying.
