Yes, and frankly the micro-managing boredom. From my perspective, any system like this is starting to serve the needs of the platform in place of the needs of the consumer.
My car already has a light for when the oil needs to be changed. I don't need an oil-changer showing up at my door or the service-station calling me.
We have to fight for every ounce of privacy these days - why should anyone be expected to turn the whole life of their family into, essentially, an EZ-Pass?? No thanks . . .
