I don't understand the problem that thread solves that zigbee doesn't! The article says that thread doesn't require a hub but it require a border gateway that is almost indistinguishable from a hub. And as far as my home assistant setup is concerned, it doesn't require a hub, only a zigbee radio.

The only thing that seems to advantage thread is manufacturers support, but I don't see what's stopped them to regroup around zigbee.

Any one has clues on why Thread was needed when zigbee already existed?
