Only until consumers get fed up with everything from their TV to their coffee maker spying on them and start demanding IOT products that don't actually connect to the Internet and instead interact with a local gateway device. That may never happen, but the barriers to making all your gadgets cooperate and speak the same protocol instead of requiring vendor-specific apps are definitely getting lower.

My 2016 Kindle has been in airplane mode since 2018 and I don't plan on ever changing that.

Mod chips may help there, or UART debugging. You can’t OTA update the PCB inside.
