I've been feeling that way for a while and whenever they send out surveys express my opposition to it.
They do seem to be working more with NAS OEMs to get Plex up and running on their devices seamlessly. And their recent support for Network based TV tuners is an interesting move.
The cloud integration works pretty well and I've used my 1TB of O365 OneDrive storage to host somethings in the cloud. The biggest problem I have is that some of my content has to be transcoded for the client and Plex doesn't do a very good job telling me what so I'm hesitant to throw it all up there. Otherwise the idea is sound and I'd use it to avoid consuming my ISP allotted bandwidth (fu comcast) when streaming remotely.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they offered a STB or SmartTV that ran the Plex Client exclusively.
