The less average people are inconvenienced, the less urgency there is to tackle harder problems. This is a nation that seems to only be able to kick the can down the road.
IIRC limit isn't the copper, it's the CO interconnects with high/low frequency cutoffs, the same copper was used for 1.5Mbps synchronous DSL. For very short runs, 50Mbps VDSL
"A software development kit (SDK) is provided royalty-free,[13][14] though the ability to commission a finished product into a Matter network in the field mandates certification and membership fees,[15][16] entailing both one-time, recurring, and per-product costs.[17] This is enforced using a public key infrastructure (PKI) and so-called device attestation certificates.[15]"
So it's a closed ecosystem that makes money for a cabal of corporations
It's "closed" in the same way that all open wireless standards (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.) are closed. You can read the spec, use the open source SDK, and build devices without paying a cent.
If you want to participate as more than a hobbyist, you'll need to join the CSA (a non-profit mutual-benefit corporation). This will cost a bit less than half of what it cost manufacturers to join the equivalent organization for Z-Wave — a closed, single-vendor, non-IP-based solution that was state-of-the-art 25 years ago.
Money paid by commercial vendors funds stuff like test labs, interop events, and compliance support systems.

My understanding - correct me if I'm wrong - is that it's not quite the same; I'm pretty sure you can make a wifi card on your own (maybe modulo FCC approval, but that's true of any radio) and you might not be allowed to put an official wifi logo on it without a license but it'll work without needing to see an officially signed cert or the user having to touch developer settings.
You can definitely add uncertified accessories (using CSA test Vendor ID 0xFFF1) to HomeKit via an "Add Anyway" confirmation. Because Apple tends to be extremely conservative about this kind of stuff, I'd expect that all systems that support Matter would allow this.
No. Delete and overwrite are different. You need overwrite protection in addition to delete protection. The solution will vary depending on the storage system and the use case. (The comment in the PR is not an exhaustive description of potential solutions)
Not sure why this was downvoted/flagged, I do use Drone CI myself currently and it's quite pleasant: https://www.drone.io/
There's also the Woodpecker CI fork, which has a very similar user experience: https://woodpecker-ci.org/
When combined with Docker images, it's quite pleasant to use - you define what environment you want for the CI/CD steps, what configuration/secrets you need and define the steps (which can also just be a collection of scripts that you can run locally if need be), that's it.
Standalone, so you can integrate it with Gogs, Gitea or similar solutions for source control and perhaps a bit simpler than GitLab CI (which I also think is lovely, though maintaining on-prem GitLab isn't quite a nice experience all the time, not that you have to do that).
The stock may have suffered but Cisco as a company has been consistently profitable and dependable partly due to its financial management. They have a crap ton of cash, and they are very good at buying and integrating companies. I would consider them more reliable than IBM, partly because they do make "real things", and partly because they're just damn good at business. They are a great example of why you don't need an engineer to lead a very successful engineering company.
