With the possible exception of {para | quadri}plegics, why would anyone need a system for remote control of lightbulbs, and why would anyone "outsource" such a simple function to the internet?!

~40 years ago, you could buy kits that allowed you to control appliances using powerline signalling. Those, admittedly, required a central controller, which could today be replaced by a phone app (using WiFi). It appears to me that the technology has only gone downhill since then.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
