Or the other poor appliance with no internet.
I really think it is for the next generation of people that think everything needs to be on-line or on the cloud. I am a very digital guy, but I can't image any reason my appliance need the internet, and a way to be hacked, or be an entry point into my home network.
I do have my alarm system on the internet, but that is so I can monitor it via my cell phone. I can see the videos or turn the system on or off and I got to set a strong password. My thermostat is a programmable one, but it the simplest program ever. At 10:00 PM turn the heat back 4 degrees, warm back up at 6:30, and do that 7 days a week. Of course it turns the temp up at night in the AC mode.
