I don’t want to live in a world where my appliances turn off at unexpected times to manage load.

I also don’t want every appliance in my house connected to the cloud and collecting usage data.

I sincerely doubt I’m in the minority on the former, and I hope I’m not in the minority on the latter.

That’s fine. You will be allowed to pay for peak time energy. Everyone else will get a better insulated fridge and allow their washing machine to start when the price for the next hour is low.
