But what about the convenience?
I use Home Assistant as my “main” smart home server then have HomeKit on iOS, macOS connect to it.
You don’t need Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft involved at all if you don’t want to. In fact, with Matter it’s easier than ever to get away from Big Tech.

My comment is pure sarcasm but couldn’t be bothered to do the alternating bIg/SmAlL letters or the /s.

I figured as much but I thought I might still try to help anyone reading.

You do, however, need a degree in software engineering.

Convenience is a legitimate reason. Some people don't want to do research, they want to go to best buy or amazon and buy everything in whatever ecosystem they know.

It's crazy to me that people allow a corporation with a vested interest in selling all the data it can about you to have cameras and microphones placed all over their homes.
Not to mention the fact that, Google being Google, this is going to be shitcanned in a couple of years, anyway.

Can I use my current google speakers with homeAssistant? Can they still do the 'grouped speakers' things? Can I still 'cast' media?

Former trucker here.
I've been using home assistant for a year. No degree in software engineering here
Stupidly simply to set up.

I used it for several years. It's incredibly complicated to set up. After the 3rd or 4th time it offed itself randomly or some random update broke it, I gave up and put manual shit back everywhere. Giant waste of time and money. Please don't send others to the same fate.

Sounds like a skill issue.
I'm just a dumb ol trucker with an Alabama public school education.
I managed to set it up with no issues.
