I'm hopeful that Matter will be one of those "healthy standards". It's local-first (no cloud connection required) and enables interop between lots of different devices (no more "made for Alexa" or "works with Google home").
It's unclear to me, though, how pervasively it will be adopted. The incentives in the IoT ecosystem are really hard to align in a way that creates great experiences for customers.
(I work tangentially on IoT at Google, but speak for myself.)
