The wife and family have no idea what’s going on behind the curtain. They open their phone and they see and have access to exactly what I want them to see. They can tell Siri to do things. They don’t have to install some weird app. They aren’t talking to some home brew esp32 that kinda works. It’s built in and just works… if we had android id expose the same stuff to google home.

I think what you’ll find is HomeKit’s best feature is being a front end for home assistant. Which is where most people end up on their journey.
