I think the reason this isn't wi-fi is that this feature is meant to streamline customer support. Wi-fi would have the opposite effect, because then they would have to first explain people how to configure it and spend time troubleshooting the inevitable connection problems.

It's a washing machine, why on earth would it need internet? It feels quite wasteful, at least if it's only for maintenance stuff. It's not like your washing machine would break once a week or so.

Why do I need a "feature" where I need to hold my phone directly in front of the machine - where its native controls are?! I guess the wheel knob is easier to use than a mobile phone "app"....

Even worse. I was assuming they did it to be cheap, but if the wifi would actually cost less it makes even less sense.

They probably spent more money on the DIY modem than they would have if they had just added a wifi module.

why not just ad an Ethernet port

This is pretty fascinating, but shouldn't they just go the extra $20 and give it an internet connection?

Interesting.
