Tom, I think I'm just confused about that you're arguing for. This is not at all an "iOS vs Android" thing here. I'm not arguing "vs," I'm arguing "and." I think Nest is a really nice product (for some people). Why can't Nest do what it does and also talk to other things in your home? You seem to be arguing against that, and the only reason I'm hearing is that you're worried the other products it could partner with would have bad design.
