I think only a small (but substantial) number of people actually want home based Smart/IoT products. And I think there's the extra push we see here to advertise to them because they're big trender spenders. Inshallah this article is part of a push-back that will encourage some TV companies to take a step back and get a little less intrusive on their customers. One of the biggest IoT markets is large corporations with large workforces they would like to manage. A lattice of job-relevant IoT devices give them an automated layer to monitor and control. It lets them enhance safety, productivity, communication and motivation to their own likings. IE to their own profits. Usually at any personal expense or detriment on the part of their work force they can reasonably expect to get away with.
