When I think of IoT I think of devices gathering data, and the data has to go somewhere to be useful. What's the alternative to putting it in the cloud, self-hosting the storage? That's what I would do, but I think it is a pretty niche market who wants to deal with the storage, backing it up, etc.

IMHO the apps should be storage agnostic, with setup including choosing storage (possibly including paid plans).
Meditating that through a standardised storage connector would mean the IoT apps have very little to do.
That could be something like SFTP, but there are some interesting things like https://remotestorage.io/ that allow you to write your own storage provider so decentralised apps can choose their own data store/change storage later without changing the app.
