the ietf did not give guidance to cpe vendors to protect toys inside your LAN
Luckily Amazon, Google, Apple, et.al. want to sell us products, and they noticed lack of standardisation in home automation limits the total size of the market. So we're getting a nice network protocol; thread and nice application protocol; matter to enable vendors to sell more products to us. As a side effect, we also increase security quite a bit, due to the thread network not having public addresses and will communicate only to the gateway. Many of us already have thread gateway at home, via homepod mini or google nest and increasingly so will get one. Amazing what commercially motivated standards can do in a short time, when not ran through IETF. -- ++ytti
