Yes, I agree with you. The argument that “we don’t want devices to require internet access” is very strange to me for this update of the standard.
This has absolutely no bearing on whether devices will be enshittified and require online cloud accounts/functionality/etc… This is not affecting the standard of devices saying they require internet access…
This literally changes nothing except creating a standard path and manner of connecting devices to the internet. Do people know what a standard, regulated path for unwanted features means? A standard one-size-fits-all manner for blocking cloud access for all devices!

This has absolute bearing on whether devices can be enshittified in the same way plaguing too many current home automation devices
This literally changes nothing except creating a standard path and manner to enable cloud dependencies and tracking from unscrupulous venders
