I think that ultimately, the hardware / software producers want it to fail. The more profit in selling you multiple "you MUST have THIS" widget and a single catch-all system for less money and less consumption.

How about an eco-system of hardware / solution as a service. I mean, aside from your contacts and photos what about your phone must you own?
