Which seems (IMHO) why the likes of Texas Instruments has failed. They've made a few attempts at jumping on the IoT bandwagon over the last decade and should have been in a perfect position to capitalize on the huge uptake but it just didn't fit their profit margin goals I'm guessing.

Nah, problem with TI was their ridiculous $20-30 price point for a microcontroller with build in Wifi.
