You should check out Home Assistant and the vast range of ecosystems it integrates with! There a dazzling range of radio standards and manufacturers that have considered the problems you’re describing.
You could (and I understand many people do) run an entire smart home without any WiFi at all, if you’d like.
Home Assistant is free and open-source, and I understand from his comment above that their founder generously donated the project to a non-profit foundation to sustain it that way for the future.
Which is awfully reassuring with respect to the rent-seeking incentives you’re worried about.
