Three issues with many gadgets:
1) Breaking EU laws. Actually Google, Facebook, ICANN etc breaking EU law for about 12 years BEFORE GDPR came in
2) Usability, user control and GUI is actually going backwards.
3) Poor design and testing. Not just SW or GUI but hardware ergonomics too. Cost reduction and appearance trumping functionality.
There is more concentration on static appearance, acquiring user behaviour and advertising than delivering what users think they are buying.
This current firmware is symptomatic of the industry. It rates a 3 out of 10.
