My concern is that they’ll include the equipment for spying on you, and just enable it later.
I bought a Hue because it said “no online account required!” Later they changed their mind.
I want the promise plus open standards and a base of libre software. I want them to tie themselves to the mast.

Yeah, good point. Owners of Samsung “smart” refrigerators started seeing ads on them recently. I’m sure there was some sort of legal terms that users had to agree to to enable that, but it still feels like a scam. Some amount of those fridge owners would not have bought the fridge if they knew there would be ads on it at any point in time.
