Just a marketing ploy to gain an advantage over the competition for a
short while and sell a few more machines until they catch up.

And why not?


Shurely if you are a member of a faith, then you probably believe
a supreme being made the entirety of the cosmos. Worrying that
you are going to get on the wrong side of such a being because
you did "creative work" like turning on an oven, switching a TV
on or working a lift is somewhat silly?


So you're not complaining about the fact that 'Sabbath mode' machines
exist, only that some people adopt a regime for their lives that
allows mfrs of such machines to make products specifically for them.


A. What complaint?
B. These aren't specifically made "for them". (We all get to
pay for such "features" if we buy an appliance with such
settings...)

But people believe all sorts of things, that to other people might
seem silly. It gives a structure to their lives that they need, while
others can survive without such a structure, or adopt a different one.
But it's what people do; it's just human nature. Get over it.


Or?
