I mean it's kind of due to the fact it's connected to wifi, that it needs to update. If it had no internet-connected/smart functionality, it wouldn't need updates for security OR to correct/add some functionality (or in some cases, remove it as a "security fix"). If you want internet-connected devices so you can - and I can't imagine why - start your dishwasher remotely, then you necessarily open the door to software updates. Also how can it know there is an update unless it's already connected to the network... I'm certain there is a way to exit this also and continue operating as it was. Don't take this as an allowance of disrespectful design - but this post is less than genuine in it's position.
