The only possible reason for an Internet connected washing machine is to provide alerts when it is done or when it has failed.
And honestly, if you need an alert on your phone to tell you when your washing machine has finished, you probably need to be more aware of your surroundings and learn how to prioritise tasks.
We have a HiSense 60” and have never connected it to any network. It works perfectly as a Dumb Monitor with multiple HDMI inputs and HDCP and HDMI-CEC work perfectly with our AppleTV (HDMI 1) and PS5 (HDMI2) We have TOSLink Optical Audio to an Amp(receiver) and it works almost perfectly, until the Amp chucks a hissy-fit because people forget to turn it off.

The fact that the cost of YouTube Premium almost doubled overnight is making me rethink my ethics, when my current subscription is up for renewal, I will be reassessing whether to cease watching YouTube, watch YouTube with ads or determine another way of supporting content creators.
It’s not the competitive pricing that is the issue, it the forced upgrade cycle and invasive user policies.
(Except for system admin costs and Mail/File Hosting) a Linux-based solution is literally Free. I would assume that Mail and File hosting for Governmental Entities should be hosted in-house anyway.
