Matter isn’t in trouble yet, but things aren’t looking good.

Sure, maybe they’re less secure, but many people willingly put an internet-connected microphone in their home, too.

Bargain bin, no-name smart light switches and smart plugs are particularly ubiquitous and often work with every smart home platform but Apple’s.
