As someone who works in IoT, I very much enjoyed your disbelief. I'd place this right about in the middle in terms of useless complexity. There's a lot worse and a lot better. A lot better usually only comes from bigger vendors that can afford dev teams with possible rotations. As a small company or startup, good luck finding a successor to your embedded developer if they leave, so they just slap everyday tech on way overpowered hardware which makes it easier to find devs.
