AIBU to not want an oven that is smarter than me?

Just had a first draft of possible new fancy kitchen.
Can anyone explain to me why the fuck one needs a WIFI enabled oven and hob?
It's just one more feature that I will never ever get to grips with.
The manufacturer's YouTube video shows happy smiley people turning on their dishwasher while sitting on a beach!
Turn it on before you leave the house or wait until you get home!

Has anyone got a Smart appliance that is actually worth the inflated price?

Wait a minute, wait a minute, back up a minute!

Cantilevered shelves??

I think that means, like with Miele's telescopic runners, you can pull the tray completely out of the oven without having to hold it from halfway, rather than reaching inside and risking burning your hand.

Might be useful for DP, as he's done it a few times. But he is cackhanded

Actually, at two hundred quid a set, he can use a fucking oven glove and be more careful next time.

I hate technology. I had the alarm man round for security maintenance for CCTV and the bastard boiler wouldn’t switch the heating off. The Wi-fi thermostat wasn’t talking to the boiler after his visit. Wtf. Beyond annoying.

Pfft.
No WiFi here until replacement router arrives on Friday so if I DID have a Smart oven, I'd have to turn it on manually.
Oh, the ignominy...
