This is no different than the coffee table with 5 remotes laying on it. People just have to be educated. This is all common knowledge to us but many other people just don't understand the benefits of a control system. They have to experience it to understand it.
And some people just will never get it. Back when the youngest daughter was 15 (this was 10 years ago), she use to listen to music by way of YouTube videos. I showed her & explained Pandora, Spotify, etc. and using the home NAS.
But she continued to just want to use the crappy YouTube for music (with sound from her laptop speakers - she had an audio system in her room). Mind you at that time (about 2010), YouTube audio was pretty crappy by itself.
So I agree. A 15 year old girls opinion means squat. lol
There is a big difference in apps and a bunch of remotes on a coffee table because the systems themselves have gotten less complicated. Now with HDMI Control, a factory remote (or app) can control multiple pieces of equipment in a system. And Alexa, google Home, and Apple Home Pod can Bridge some of this gap that our control systems have filled.
I think this is still a long ways off, but I now think it’s an eventual reality.
