Enterprises often have to pass audits and have regulatory compliance requirements. So no surveillance capitalism for them. Where enterprise tech vendors get you is licensing cost.

So do many smaller organisations. The market for prosumer/SOHO/SME tech is in a sorry state lately with many being pushed towards what is essentially consumer level junk with a slightly different finish on the case and a different badge.

There is an irony here in the UK that we're finally seeing widespread availability of FTTP broadband with gigabit+ speeds and the latest WiFi standards but trying to find decent routers, switches, and access points that support 10G internal networking and the full rates of the available broadband and WiFi standards is a nightmare. It's like the only conceivable options are extremely expensive "enterprise" products and consumer junk that you control with a mobile app (until it becomes unsupported at some indeterminate future date presumably) that phones home to the manufacturer's servers (until they get shut off at some indeterminate future date presumably) and only works with an account on the manufacturer's system (until it deliberately or accidentally gets disabled for any reason presumably) and possibly a subscription payment (that can increase arbitrarily in future years presumably). It seems like literally no manufacturer that has previously provided reputable mid-level equipment still trying to compete in this segment of the market any more and that is both sad and potentially dangerous.
