Why would I want to buy a fridge in 2021 with 2018-era tablet embedded and expect to use that fridge in 2035 with who knows what WiFi standard changes in between?

I’d pay extra to not have a tablet embedded in an appliance.




Yeah, I'm not saying I personally want that either. I prefer dumb appliances with less to go wrong, but the industry seems to be going that way?
