One: I don't want to pay a yearly fee to use a hardware device I paid for. Especially when that price will inevitably increase.
Two: Paying a monthly fee for the privilege of saying "Turn the lights on." in my own flipping home. That is very hard pass.
Three: Amazon already EOL's several smarthome products (CloudCam, Amazon Key come to mind).
I'm glad that Amazon would take a huge L if they decide to abandon their Alexa ecosystem now.
