I hate any kind of electronics on appliances. I’ve heard too many horror stories of electronics going bad on clothes washers and dryers, for example.
We have a Maytag washer and dryer that were made in the 1990s. Electro-mechanical controls. The washer has never had a problem, and I’ve only had to make minor repairs to the dryer.
I also wonder if using all these computer/database systems for doing management & admin tasks at work has actually made us less efficient. Stuff like timesheets, travel, purchase requests, etc. Here is a thread about it.
