To be fair, there is really no way at present for IoT vendors to deliver service without running the data collection end, unless they sell you a workstation to do it at home. If there were a place at home where data collection apps could run...
I do not know of any reason the model for IoT needs to be different from email. That is, yes, servers are needed. They might reside with end-users, but they do not have to.
The essential point is to have an open interconnection specification that permits mixing different vendors' products together. (This is true for mixing IoT end devices, not just IoT data servers.)
I think the real issue here is that the vendors have a strong incentive to /retain/ their data acquisition role. So they won't give it up unless and until there is a strong consumer-driven pressure for it.
The IETF has the technological basis for working on this problem, but it would be completely speculative at this point, and probably we'd get it wrong.
Well, you are more optimistic than I. Absent involvement of folk with subject matter expertise, the likelihood of getting the design right is zero, IMO... That is, 'certainly' rather than 'probably'...
