I'm not against it having an open API to allow it to be controlled by some computer system, though don't even bring up the word "cloud".
The problem is they start including features no one wants. Like my dishwasher has an app, why?
It's not like it can fill itself so I can put the dishes in the dishwasher and I can start it remotely, but since I have to put the dishes in the dishwasher it's pointless to then not immediately turn it on, it's not like the dishes will care if they're sat in the dishwasher for a few hours. What is the point in me being able to remotely turn it on from my phone?
The app also lets me set a start time, which is a doubly pointless feature because I could just remotely turn it on with the app whenever, if for some reason I cared about that.
Imagine how much better the dishwasher would be if the people who'd spent the time building the world's most pointless app, instead worked on literally any other aspect of the dishwasher.
