Absolutely agree with everything except

It looks like local control (i.e., with physical access) wasn't affected, so the only convenience lost was remote access. Not great when you've bought the product specifically for that feature of course, but still much better than locking yourself out.

I can imagine a few people couldn't get into their AirBnBs or whatever until the host schlepped across town, probably ruining their day.

But yes, that's the risk of relying on a system as unreliable as the internet for such a task.
