Yes! Let me tell you about the home we bought, that was built in 1947 and would have been considered a "smart home" of the time. And NONE of the "smart" features are of any value now.
The main rooms were wired for sound. Each room had a speaker box, and controls for sound and program source. No need to wheel a valve radiio or gramophone from room to room! But of course, the 1960s arrived and people wanted stereo sound, not mono. And, would you believe, the radio selectors had FOUR positions! This is the UK, and at the time the BBC was broadcasting the "First Program", "Second Program", "Third Program" and "Fourth Program". Who could need any more?
And the radio wasn't received "over the air", it was CABLE radio! No pesky interference to the signal. Well, the cable radio companies have long since gone out of business.
The house had THREE telephone outlets, at a time when "one phone in the hall" was the norm. They didn't anticipate that cordless phones would liberate communication from fixed wall outlets.
The main rooms each have a dedicated wired outlet for a clock, with a special type of flush socket so that the clock hangs close to the wall. Well guess what, nowadays the clocks in our house are on the oven, on the clock radio, or on our cellphones.
The bathroom was set up with some fancy-pants combined light/heater/fan device. Of course, spares for such a device (heat bulbs, etc) haven't been available since the maker shut down in, I don't know, somewhere around 1955.
Many of the rooms have two switches for the same light, at opposite ends of the room. But just one big light in the centre of the ceiling. What people want nowadays is multiple forms of lighting, for different moods, not just more ways to switch one light.
The house had a sophisticated doorbell system, with separate circuits for front and back doorbells, and a fancy indicator in the kitchen so that you knew which door to answer. Nowadays, even tradesmen don't use the back door, and my daughter's friends phone her when they arrive so that she can let them in.
Even though the fabric of the house, and the room layouts, are still usable, nothing that used "wiring" has stood the test of time.
In newer houses I see the same thing. In the 1990s, people "future-proofed" their houses by installing early ethernet cables in every room, which are terribly slow by today's standards - and anyway almost all their connections are over WiFi nowadays anyway. Some houses, from the 1960s, had internal intercoms from room to room - but who uses those anymore? In the 1990s these became video intercoms - but who uses those today?
Complex ("smart") systems are interesting, and can be useful for a few years until spares are no longer available, but a much better solution is good passive design, which has no maintenance overhead and never becomes obsolete. If the constraints of the site or of the house mean that good passive design is not possible, then at least go for simple, minimalist, unspecialized, and high quality.
