More cost upfront, but as we've seen time and time against companies will start charging subscriptions for thing they previously didn't.

Then there'd the privacy benefits. Not needing to rely on some company to keep servers alive. Being able to more easily troubleshoot/upgrade/swap individual parts. Not having to use a different app for basically every single device. All that sort of stuff
