#3I don't think I'll ever understand why people buy such "smart" appliances. There's little value in it for the purchaser, and they come with a heavy price in terms of privacy and annoyance.

To brag about them on social media, just like designer clothing etc.

I highly doubt that. High end appliances that are actually social media worthy are essentially the opposite of these tacky things.
If you're going to downvote then at least prove me wrong: the social media darling is the viking tuscany range, fridges are colorful 70's inspired with no "tech" -- smeg and it's competitors. Negative signaling at it's finest, it's a flex if you don't have any "smart" appliances.

Less so for fridges, but in the TV space there are few alternatives. You can get a more expensive commercial display or maybe a projector, but most people don't even consider those options and the price is a lot higher. If you go to your local retailer, practically every TV on sale is likely going to have intrusive tracking and advertisements across all price points and mainstream manufacturers.
I expect a lot of manufacturers see the "successful" conversion of TVs from a one time sale to a near inescapable advertising platform and are trying to emulate that in other product segments.

The idea of it is incredibly appealing to the DevOps and Automation guy living inside me. The idea that I could scan groceries as I use them up and build a live shopping list, I can just push button send... sounds super cool to me. However, the Security guy that lives in me knows the reality is I am just installing barely functional spyware.

#91. Why would you buy a smart fridge in the first place?
2. Why would you connect a fridge to the internet? You are visiting fridge several times a day....

"Im so grateful for these ads, they give me a lot of value" -- what they tell us people think when they see ads.
I so hate this kind of lies, as if it's okay to lie this way coz it aint hurting anyone.
