Yeah, I agree. The problem is there just aren't any good options out there. I literally have a theater at dad's house with over a grand in Control4 shit installed that needed a software update and turned into a nightmare. So it's sitting there unused in the rack and we switched to Harmony. Lost some advanced functionality (that was never used anyway) and we can maintain it on our own.
Once you get into things beyond TV / receiver / amp / sources and into other areas like auto dim lights, curtains, all that shit, then Harmony is no longer viable. But not many folks DIY that shit anyway.
