You mention maintenance items… There’s no reason a fridge sold in 2019 couldn’t include maintenance monitoring and a 7-segment error display. The filter needs a change? The coil is hot? Ok tell the human. My Miele washer and dryer do it.
Samsung appliances are garbage, I would never buy another one.
I bought a $3000 fridge from them and I can only assume the ice maker was, at best, designed by someone with an MBA. Instead of having a cavity that is part of the mold (like a previous model), they just bolted it in to the fridge side. Obviously humid air leaks in and ices it over every week.

Maybe you have experts installing things who read the instructions, but I'd say more installs then not have some kind of install error. Super common but maybe not so serious including leveling issues, then clearance issues for all sorts of items but particularly affecting items that need heat exchange or ventilation. Then onto electrical / wiring screw ups, then install damage of various sorts. People are buying very complex devices now, coupled with cost savings efforts by MFGs (everything built to basically minimal tolerance) and these are not you grandparents refrigerator anymore. By the time the items gets to your house it may have been VERY roughly treated - on and off a truck to the store, around the store, on and off a truck to your house, into your house etc etc. In many cases the installers are paid dirt money basically and these are big awkward heavy items.
