My biggest issue as an IoT developer is many systems want to exist in a internet DISCONNECTED state. That is, a local ad-hoc mesh of devices. They are secure because they are air-barriered to the internet, and often are set up miles away from a point where they could connect to the internet.
The problem is, due to security rules imposed by browsers and apple, these devices must be constantly given new certificates to keep them operating. Without these certificates, no ssl, no secure web-sockets. This effectively makes it so that every-single-device has to be internet facing. These security measures were intended to help, yet everyone always asks "Why did my light switch even have a connection to the internet?" and this is why.
What I hear from your proposal is even more of the same, more internet traffic from every little trinket, more apps needed to activate simple devices. And making it even harder to have a devices simply communicate over a protected lan.
