A great example of how fucked IoT devices are. I can't use my Google Home to control my own smart lights. Both devices exist in the same physical space and LAN yet require cloud processing. https://twitter.com/tweethue/status/1080867645858164736 …
Remote control becomes more difficult. But then the cloud service could just be a dumb bridge from the internet to your LAN.

Only thing I can think of is it forces you to maintain a live connection to them. You’re unable to use it as a traditional smart home device which integrates your home devices but is disconnected from the outside world. They’d lose access to you (if you wanted)
