To Ted's point, what I think we're seeing is a very large number of vendors pursuing the "Device-to-Cloud" model (section 2.2) of sending all the data back to some central application service provider, versus the "Device-to-Gateway" model (2.3) where there is a local hub in the home.
As email has demonstrated over many years, these are choices in operational configuration, but need not be choices in protocol.
That said, one might argue that SUBMIT vs. SMTP demonstrate email's moving toward a similar distinction, but I'm inclined to say it doesn't. For the current discussion, the issue is equivalent to asking where the SUBMIT server is. And the technical answer is: anywhere, and run by anyone.
I do not see a technical or operational reason for IoT to impose a different range of choices.
The business issues are an entirely separate matter, but for now the result is both a loss of choice in privacy /and/ vendor lock-in.
