This statement astounds me.
Just kidding.
But really, how much time did you spend learning to drive that new car or adapting it to your roads? Or that washing machine?
HE is the glue that is holding everything together in this house, automation-wise. There would be a lot of friction in moving to another platform, a lot of time & learning required, no guarantee of equivalent result, thus the interest I (and others I assume) have in HE's future plans (and future, period).
The hub is inexpensive but in this house, like elsewhere I imagine, every new automation is welcomed with an "ah you're playing with the Hubitat again...", thus any money spent on automation is associated with that device, right or wrong. So I am most certainly the only one living here who thinks the hub is inexpensive.
This topic is about anxiety ! 
Happy holidays.
