This is absolutely beautiful and very well done.

@stefan There's also a finance/MBA explanation that deserves blame for the "lack of silence" of our modern device infrastructure.
You can't go into a bank, or VC pitch, or IPO roadshow, with the idea that you are going to sell 10's-of-millions of $35 devices with no "ongoing recurring revenue", some "service" that means you get paid every month, can monetize the "relationship" in various ways.
It's not going to happen.
That's what sucks most.
