Because a chip that can run a TCP/IP stack and a webserver is cheaper than a half-decent display and input device.

you start out with a flash drive on a tumble-dryer and just keep on drinking until it seems like a good idea.

for decades home appliance makers have wanted to be able to message within the house; first attempt I know of was CredaNET

you have All-In-One printers, so why not an AIO dishwasher? saves at least one wall socket for your web server...

It should still not actually be exposed to the internet as long as the firewall is reasonably configured.

some day in the future, people are going to be amazed that we could survive with dishwashers _without_ a web server
