To become mainstream the install process for a fully featured setup needs massive work.

In what way? It’s dirt simple to get started.

For you maybe. You think your grandma could set up home assistant?

Yeah, that’s all Alexa and Google have on home assistant. Not to mention that sometimes you have to write yaml to create automations.

That doesn’t feel like a fair comparison. For the same level of setup you can get with Alexa and Google, I feel like it’s easy. If you want complex automations, sure you can yaml, but you’ll be doing things you couldn’t with Alexa or Google
