Have you played with it at all? Mozilla isn't acting as a data broker, they're providing software and a framework. The world of iot doesn't have that many great offerings for private systems. Mozilla is taking their years of software experience and building something decent. I'm glad to see this hasn't been shuttered yet. I've been wanting to move more of my home automation away from cloud based services and this has a lot of potential. (The current best offering I know of is hass)

Even things Mozilla did pull support from and attempt to shutter, like Thunderbird and Firefox OS (now KaiOS) had vibrant communities that stepped up and kept these projects alive. Mozilla does know how to build a community around the projects they work on.

Right, IIUC, the stated goal is to reach some standardization (https://www.w3.org/WoT/ https://www.w3.org/WoT/) for IoT communication. Which, in my opinion would be great for users if it panned out. It is not an ideal situation that people that prefer to control their IoT devices themselves need to rely on a myriad of integration plugins for hass. But I'm not hopeful that this will gain the required industry traction
