I'm surprised they didn't already require this, but I think it's probably safe to say it was a likely and foreseeable outcome in any case. That, combined with a dearth of use cases that made sense (for my life) is what's kept me from using these products.

About the only reason I could think of to buy smart lightbulbs would be to suddenly turn all the lights in the house red, and yell "torpedoes in the water, brace for impact!" and that doesn't seem like a strong enough argument. I'd probably only do this 2-3 times a month anyway.

These products are mostly targeted at the the Youtuber/streamer market that need to add variety to their backdrops.

Not even close.

There do exist products made for for a variety of Youtube/video/streaming needs, including lighting, and they are niche.

You might think "but there are many many Youtubers/streamers" but in comparison with the overall market for such lamps, they're insignificant in number.

Hue and co (from Amazon, IKEA, etc) are mass market products.
