Tip: I never recommended to any clients that they "lock in" to any one vendor's ecosystem (e.g. no computers within lightbulbs; no touchpanels) when rewiring their homes; stick to simplicity (e.g. no ceiling fans which operate via [losable] remote)!
The wireless switching protocols are among my least favorite household ecosystems ("smart home" stuff). I have seen 90+ year old switches which still work perfectly, while the 5 year old "latest-greatest" geekswitch gets firmwared out of operation.
I finished a space recently and, when planning for the ceiling fan, ensured we had a wall switch in addition to the remote. It seems penny-wise pound-foolish to do otherwise.

Hue light bulbs work like regular lightbulbs just by flicking off and on.
Obviously this bug affects their behavior, but the deadmans logic in allowing them to just be normal with standard tech is pretty adept.
I am a simple tradesman (retired); I cannot follow your non-sequitor (no, but in this one case sure; but still, no "u adept zombie").
Am I misreading?
