I won't connect my dishwasher to your stupid cloud

I assume only if you're setting it up to work "offline" with the app. Issuing a key pair to the hardware and the app from their ecosystem's trusted authority does seem like a secure way to do it.

Why can't the dishwasher or phone generate that key though?

I’ll assume they use this to “register” your product so they know when the warranty actually started.
