IoT itself isn't bad. It's the companies that are using it to spy on you. If IoT is FOSS/Libre it is good.

But I agree that not everything should have internet access especially if it's proprietary.

None of my appliances need to be connected to the internet. That’s asinine. (Not directed at you, more “old-man-yells-at-Cloud”)

I think the distinction is need. I dont like it when its mandatory, but i dont mind that the option is there. E.g some people like preheaing their oven on the drive home(or a warning that something on the stove is on if accodently left on), or in case of the dryer, when its done.

One common one I think is helpful is those who may have forgotton to close their garage. Easy way to check without having to drive back and do so.
