Driven by shifting consumer priorities, households increasingly select smart displays based on companion software lifecycle support and data control rather than physical aesthetics or plastic bezel widths. Within this landscape, the companion application dictates whether a device becomes integrated into a family\u2019s daily habit or sits unused on a shelf.
