Probably not, since they will almost certainly require Synapse 3 and Razer has never gotten it ported over.

I have the first gen 4K model and really don’t plan to upgrade. Yes Thread and Matter is nice, but the A10X is still a beast. I don’t really game on it so the bigger storage doesn’t matter to me that much. I have a HomePod Mini that I can use for Thread.

The more Thread devices throughout the home, the more reliable the network.

To be fair, that's true of most dedicated home automation standards. For example, Thread isn't superior to Zigbee in that regard, which is why Philips Hue has managed to stay on top of the game for so long. The reason people have had such low opinions of home automation devices in general and tout the superiority of Thread so much is the huge number of cheap and unreliable WiFi connected devices out there, and the fact that the more WiFi devices you have on your network, the worse all of them work thanks to collision domain issues.

Most? The only home automation mesh networks I'm aware of are Thread and Zigbee. What are the others?

The other one is X10, the granddaddy of all home automation standards. It's still in use by some industrial systems and diehards.

On a serious note though are non-iPhone users just expected to fork over $20 for a lightning cable now? Not a deal breaker by any means, but an odd decision considering the dwindling amount of lightning based accessories.

Anyone forking over $20 for a cable is being very dumb.  Heck dollar stores have had USB, lightning and now USB-C cables forever - and for charging even the worst quality dollar store cables are more than adequate.  

I'm glad Apple is no longer including now easily redundant cables.  At this point the vast majority of people have more than one of these cables floating around already.  The amount of ewaste dropping stuff like this produces is significant, and long overdue.

Lightning cables in the box are never redundant though, because if there's one thing you can count on, it's that when you really need to use one, it will be broken and you need to find a spare. Good riddance to poor standards.

Just in time for graphics cards to become bandwidth hungry enough that 80Gbps isn't enough to handle them.
