Paying almost a thousand - or more! - to have an overcomplicated device filled with sensors put into your most private sphere voulnerable to adverse elements unnecessarily (had a perfect dumb robot vacuum doing its job loaned to us once, but no-one sells such when they can sell bullshit for 4 times more, idiots buy it regardless), that is not smart....

Consumidiotsm, is the term comes to mind. Eating up crap, is the analogy from non-technical contexts. The side effect is, that buying properly made not overcomplicated and tedious to maintain (update, refresh, pair, disgnose, update and configure connected harware, click away pushy self-promotions, the way it is not exposing you to the manufacturer or everyone) products is tedious (loosing saved efforts). Poor others just want simple and robust, not fragile and risky tech-crap doing the core thing are left out.

(Robotic vacuum is a great concept! The available implementations in the other hand are rubish!)
