For the Europeans, look up AEG, Bauknecht, Electrolux, Liebherr...sad story as well. And one hell of a case for rampant capitalism running amok...

There's a difference between rampant capitalism running amok and the free market...free always needs rules, or it would be anarchy...

Nope, they are not, at least in terms of household appliances. BUT they still produce quality stuff in Germany and Europe. And they actually never have been separate. And HomeConnect is commited to HAOS, iirc they actually provide some code to the plugin.
