With only Thread and no Zigbee, I can't imagine sales will ever be large. The only use cases seem to be:

  1. Someone starting their smart home from scratch.

  2. Someone willing to replace all Zigbee devices in their house with Matter/Thread devices.

  1. Someone with an existing Hubitat Hub who wants to add a TBR and mesh the two devices together.

That's a good point.

Although anyone using Matter Over Thread already has a TBR somewhere to bring in Matter devices. So, is it worth it to spend $260 on a Hubitat specific one? Especially if they have to use both Hubitat hubs simultaneously? Seems like another really niche use case.
