I disagree with you. I’m aligned with @WyzeJasonJ on this point.
I have to disagree about the point I bolded in your quote. Even if we don’t count Amazon as mainstream, Wyze has had physical product in Home Depot for a full year. Starting with a camera. And only a camera. (Are they carrying more things since?)
In that Wyze sells “cheap tools”, I look at them a bit like like Harbor Freight. Will I buy Harbor Freight’s Dingbot cordless drill instead of a Makita at five times the price? Yes, I will and have.
Do I expect it to perform at the same level and for as long as the premium brand? No, I don’t.
I walk into Harbor Freight and I tell myself, "Remember, moron, these are disposable tools. Though some categories may be covered by Lifetime Replacement Warranties, will you really bring that broken X back to be replaced by another, or will you just go, “Moron, pay up for a real tool, you’ve got work to do, what’s the value of your down time?”
And I think we’re in rough agreement, there:
