Sure, I could do that, but not everyone can. But you still have the problem that many of these devices don't function well unless they can phone home; they don't very firmware upgrades, and they expect to be controlled by a bespoke app. If you filter out all the devices that are HA compatible without running through an external service, you shear the product choices in half.
