Cramming useless, unwanted bloat into existing products is what corporations do when they’ve lost the ability to innovate but don’t want to admit it.

Manufacturers do the same thing. I spent a couple of years at a company that makes industrial power tools. Those jokers tried adding a line of “smart” tools, apparently not understanding that people don’t buy a tool that costs thousands of dollars because of some irrational compulsion to connect everything to WiFi. They do it because they need a tool that stands up to a highly abusive environment while doing it’s job every single time without fail. Management was somehow shocked when this new point of failure was not well received.
