For most people, if they want any kind of home automation then they'd have to trust someone, as most people won't be able to deploy and maintain their own system. So now you have 2 options (other than just not automating your home)
So would you rather bet on 1 company not being evil, or 2 companies not being evil?
Then what about not automating your house?
Sure, that’s an option. And we don’t need central heating, a fireplace worked fine. We didn’t even need to build houses, we were fine living in caves. And who needs fire anyway, raw meat and berries are more than enough.
Make sure you at least have a plumbed toilet if you're going to be eating raw meat and berries
What’s wrong with shitting in the woods?
Found the pope
Heresy!
The downvotes definitely prove your point
You can automate your house yourself without the need for a big corp to step in and get access to your home.
Can I? Sure. Can the average consumer? Hell no.
