But this is extra stupid, because "industrial automation" (which is what we used to call it) has been a huge business for decades.

There's a lot more than traditional industrial automation going on though. Yes, a lot of today's IoT is "stuff we've been doing for a while" under a new name. But there's also a level of instrumentation, real-time control, and analytics that goes significantly beyond "tell me if this process is drifting."
