how about MAME, which has a zip-based format containing raw ROM dumps, and the "CHD" format for disk/disc based media? obviously all of the metadata is still contained within MAME itself.
especially when proving authorship of bitcoin would be a simple matter for the actual Satoshi - just sign a message with the same key as the recipient of the genesis block. He attempted to do this and failed in a stunningly obvious way.
I used to work phone support for Dell and we had tools similar to this to help troubleshoot over the phone without having access to the exact hardware the customer had.
Also, Mozilla is largely dependent on Google via their default-search arrangement, so even if it's not Webkit/Blink based, Google still has significant influence.
It's like you're purposely describing the least useful application of smarthome devices.
Setting up geofence triggers, time/event-based triggers, etc. is the real power of smart devices. I have automations set up so if I arrive home when it's dark, lights in my house turn on automatically so I don't have to fumble for light switches. I have motion sensors so if I walk into rooms, the lights turn on automatically and then turn off after I leave. I can set up schedules to turn lights on and off while I'm not at home so my house looks occupied.
Also, with Apple Homekit, there is a control center widget so you just swipe up, tap home and your "favorite" devices are very quickly accessible from anywhere in the world.
