I can't find a good reason to support another device clogging up the already over used 2.4GHz band that doesn't have a good advantage over the current standards. If you compare Zigbee vs Thread, they're nearly identical, except the IP (which is just putting additional traffic on my current network) and that went over like a lead balloon for "Zigbee IP".

Its more than just IP. Its better routing and other changes that give overall much better network performance according to silicon labs and their benchmarking analysis. See Bluetooth Mesh, Thread, and Zigbee Network Performance Benchmarking - Silicon Labs . It looks like thread has about double the performance of Zigbee. See

And half the latency:
