Similar story for clothes dryers:

My parents' dryer had 2 knobs for temperature and run time, and a start button. Ran forever and dried clothes.

My dryer has like a dozen programmed cycles that rely on a moisture sensor that doesn't work and leaves clothes damp unless you use the manual time & temp settings, which takes several capacitive button presses on a circuit board that is likely to die before any of the actual mechanical components of the dryer. Also for some reason it has Wi-Fi.

"And for some reason it has Wi-Fi ." will be the last line in humanity's epitaph.

The latest xkcd has one of my favorite hover texts of all time:

It's important for devices to have internet connectivity so the manufacturer can patch remote exploits.
