Ok, imagine the following scenario. Tesla decides not to pay Musk and hire all these people instead. Would you join the workforce? They will give you share options with a three year vesting period and zero salary. Go on, join them on these conditions!
Yes. That's the whole point of them: you give away your information and most of your rights. Even if it's something like Lemmy, open source, free, no ads, etc, you're still forfeiting your rights. Because otherwise you cannot share anything publicly. Only private and inaccessible platforms can protect your rights. For example, a private Telegram channel protected by a password and with forced E2E encryption might protect your rights (I'm not sure about Telegram ToS, so I'm not 100% sure), but public platforms - never. They're public, that's the point.
The thing is that it is a lot easier and a lot safer to buy some ESP32 boards, flash them with WLED, plug into 5V/12V/24V box, hide all of that in a 3D printed enclosure and call it a day than to rebuild the bloody walls (: And you won't be breaking any regulations and every sparky will be fine with that.
Running all your house with two wiring systems is dumb AF that's why no one will ever do that for you. That's my point.
Musk is not getting billions worth salary. You can't hire 500,000 people using his package. Unless you believe that these workers should be eating shares instead of food.
Electricians don't want to touch DC circuits because it is illegal to mix low voltage DC and high voltage AC circuits. At least it's illegal in Europe. You need to rebuild your walls to ensure separate and independent wiring channels. And that's a very expensive nightmare.
