No, that’s not what it says, at all.
@ProofofD3ath states that it would be great if Homey would become such a well-known brand that manufacturers of smart devices would want direct support of their devices in Homey, just like more and more brands are offering direct Google Home/Alexa/Homekit support.
And by extension, if that were to happen, situations where Philips deciding to stop supporting their 1st gen bridge wouldn’t have such a big impact, because Homey would be able to directly support the devices (which it, in part, already does with the Hue Zigbee app).
But I think Athom feel comfortable with the current situation, where device support is mostly implemented by community devs. That way, Athom doesn’t have to spend time and money on development and support, and if an app becomes really popular they’ll just try and persuade the developer to hand over the app to either the brand, or to Athom itself.
