I think the only compelling use case that applies to every IoT user is selling their data; the user as product.

In that sense, every connected device is just another implementation of the exact same thing: a surveiling data collector. What the user thinks of as the device's main purpose is a mere implementation detail.

I had peanut butter toast on sourdough yesterday. The Man knew nothing about it. Bwa ha ha ha!

Perhaps the author might fund a more useful question to be: why iot shills expect anyone to trust their devices?
