Running a platform costs money, many IoT products turn cost negative quickly if you don't introduce some type of value added service/ongoing revenue. That being said I've always been a huge proponent of allowing some type of local control. Think of people in the automation market (Control 4, CEDIA type stuff) where it would simply be faster. Even Google/Amazon allow local lambda function type activities that would be much better experience if we allowed local control. But that also changes your security landscape.
