I understand what you mean, but I disagree. The technology allows for robot vacuums to exist and I don’t see the cloud connection as a mandatory need for it. Similarly, I want my car to have say lane assist but we don’t expect to have cloud connection with it.
That's a fair point. It's frustrating that practically every "smart" anything these days needs a cloud connection (and probably also an app) just to work when they could easily work offline.
