My Bosch dishwasher does it the right way. The app is optional, and WiFi can be disabled via the front panel settings so it doesn't scan for networks every time it powers on. Well done Bosch. Not so well done is my "Beddi" alarm clock by Witti Design. Every time the snooze button is pressed, bluetooth is activated in an attempt to connect with the app. This happens even when bluetooth was deactivated before the alarm goes off, and even when only the internal buzzer is used as the alarm choice, with no smart features used. I asked them about this and they replied saying most people want the smart features of the clock, so they just decided to make bluetooth scanning non-optional. Interesting how they "know" what most people want. Imagine being usage-tracked from literally the moment you wake up and perform your first action for the day - hitting the snooze button. I understand some people choose to have the clock connect with the app on pressing snooze, but the option to disable that and have it remain disabled should be available.
