Probably because it's on a controller. It is fucking stupid.

Payment terminal, can't patent that. Payment terminal on a toaster? Yes you can patent that. Lol

    At this point, it's getting into findom territory. "Don't want your toast to burn you disgusting pervert? You make such pathetic financial decisions. You should give that money to me instead, and maybe I'll consider only burning your toast a little."

    There's supposed to be an inventive height. Obvious combinations aren't patentable by law. But the patent offices are all stupid and just lets it happen and force people to take it to court.
