I agree with the sentiment, especially with regards to terrible ideas like touchscreens. But open up any &quot;smart appliance&quot; and you&#x27;ll still find the same simplistic sensors and actuators performing the core function. If things get bad enough a modding market will spring up, replacing &quot;intelligent&quot; control boards with versions that work for the user. Likely with non-mandatory network capability, but without the hostility.
