Essentially you are (or were didn’t have time lately to check) locked to home assistant os.
Since when? I use it frequently in my house. The possibilities are damn near endless, you have the freedom to do damn near whatever the fuck you want with it.
The problems come with shitty vendor integrations that intentionally gimp functionality when the devices aren’t used in whatever “official” app the vendor ships. That’s not HA’s fault, tha’s squarely on the vendor for doing shit in bad faith to steer low-IQ customers (like you, apparently) to the “official” app.
Me, I don’t have “shitty vendor integration”! I deleted all apps to control/access respective vendor devices. I have HA to manage and control the variety of vendor devices in my home.
That’s the way to go. And, local integration, which does not depend on cloud account for HA to control. The only integration I have that needs a cloud account is the integration for my car - it still depends on the cloud server to expose the differenct entities for my car’s status and functions (close/open doors, start engine with climate control, etc.).

Same here. I’ve got all but one or two vendor integrations left, and I just flat out refuse to buy smart home stuff that isn’t wholly supported by HA.
