> Fridge is a box of cold stuff. I don't need much more than that.

The entire premise of TFA is essentially that you're wrong.

I would rather not require the use of my FIDO key to obtain an ice bream sandwich.

not really to do with keys etc.

boxes with different humidity levels.

shelves: slideout, adjustable height, rotating

humidity control/air circulation

lighting

door panel-only opening (saves energy)

utility of door-back shelf space

It's a lot more than "a box full of cold stuff".
