Btw, in case you might find that interesting:

My overarching point is that the outrage here is about Home assistant essentially not being "pure enough".

And I get that. I share those views.

But the people complaining about it, for the most part, actually can't handle what it would be if it was as "pure" as they say it should be.

Because that's then the role I have been playing here, and as you can see, that pisses people off even more than HA's friendly corporate diversions.

So, essentially, my point is that people actually want things to be exactly the way they are, because it is less dangerous to the ego.

Meaning that this is all just a charade. And a bad one at that that could not be further from the ideals, this platform wants to pursue.

Intellectual curiosity and all.
