Ask HN: Why isn't home IoT more widely adopted despite its benefits?

Hey HN, first time posting here :) !

I love new tech, but I'm cautious about home IOT devices like assistants, smart bulbs, smart locks, (...), because of privacy and cybersecurity issues. Even though they offer benefits, they don't seem very popular in France.

What do you think stops people from adopting personal IOT devices? Is it mostly privacy and cybersecurity, or is there another reason?
