That's a rather dogmatic and narrow-minded point of view. "IOT" means
"Internet of things". There are many things which which could benefit
from network connectivity and don't necessarily need a central server or
may even act as servers for other "things".

It all depends on the application and the "thing".

That depends on how valuable those data are.
