Logitech has a bad track record when it comes to hardware that requires ongoing services. I was a Logitech Alert customer, and had nothing but problems with both the hardware and the software. Their power line adapters would take down my entire network. And the software was buggy to the point that it was unusable.
They've abandoned the line of products and a class action lawsuit is in process.

I would think out of any technology company, MS would be the last to drop support for infrastructure. It's just safer to consider any "cloud required" device to be a rental. Now, its up to the user if that rental is a good deal or not. Sometimes it can be (chromecast). Other times, it isn't.
