Exactly.
I don't want a "smart" washer / dryer / fridge / toaster. I want a standard interface I can build my own system around, or use someone else's that they've already built.

I wish lock-in was as taboo as medieval Christian attitudes towards usury.
But weren't medieval Christian attitudes towards usury a good thing?
I guess usury is analogous to lock-in in your parent comment, not the Christian attitudes.
wouldn't treating lock-in as taboo be a good thing?
