Well said! Fortunately, you can still buy internet-connected devices with "Our app is no longer supported" fallbacks. I have a washer and dryer that can be controlled via app, but they also have physical dials and buttons. My Roomba isn't connected to the internet at all, let alone to an app; I just push the big button on top when I want my floor cleaned. My cats' litter box is connected to the internet to let me know when there's a problem, but I can also configure it by navigating the on-device menu. Et cetera.

I don't buy products that lock me into their app.
