Just.....why?

You jest, but smart toilets actually are a thing now... Though from what I can tell, they use remotes instead of apps. So no wifi or subscriptions, but you better not break that remote.
Whoa, you are not kidding. The toilet is powered (not so unusual for bidet toilets), but it looks like there's no mechanical override. Just a 'remote' control panel with a flush button (among many other features). That I'm sure is hygienic.
The video is about how to bluetooth pair the remote to the toilet. There are so many points of possible failure here, I can't even.

Although I don't have one that's smart, I have researched enough into electric toothbrushes to know that this title is exaggerating. The app is just to store your brushing information. People like tracking data about themselves as it helps with positive reinforcement. The app just allows you to see your analytics much like an app to count your steps or activity levels. It in no way "disables" your brushing experience.

I am what you would call a technology enthusiast, or what some people have dubbed as a gadget whore. I love little electronic devices that make my life easier. However, at no time in my life, will I ever need or desire a toothbrush that needs WiFi access or a subscription to some service. It really isn’t necessary or even useful. It’s like the old comic about the toilet that needs a phone app.

This seemed a little clickbait-y

I found a 350€ OralB toothbrush in a shop recently in France.
I couldn't believe the amount of bullshit you have to cram in to up a toothbrush to that level of price.

Does it come with a "feminine stimulation" accessory?

I have one that is smart, and you are spot on. It was nice to use in the beginning to get an idea of what pressure is recommended and time spent on each section. But I have uninstalled and been running app free for several years now - with zero issues.

It doesn't need it, it works totally fine without it.
(Also, FWIW, the toothbrush itself connects via Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi)

Because people are dumb and buy these shitty products.
I want a smart watch, but none do what I want without an account so I don't own that ether.
Look into this then:

The oral-b integration has been installed by 13,611 users.
My BLE proxies keep picking up my neighbor's toothbrush. I was briefly tempted to install the integration just to see what would happen. I didn't because that's creepy, but just... what a weird world we live in.

This is hilarious. I laughed for some time.
"Log back in to continue your OralB brushing experience"
Who thought it would be a good idea to have an online toothbrush, who decided to log customers out after a period of inactivity, and why, for all that is sane in the world, would not being logged in stop you from doing anything at all with your toothbrush!?!

Yup, you need to send it back to them but for a few quid (or included if you have their replacement head subscription) they will change the battery for you.
Oof, I’m not sure I’d call that repairable. That’s iPhone levels of repairable.

How’s your low-level programming ability?
I bet you could update its firmware to one you write.
Ever use one of those kid toothbrushes that plays a song by vibrating your skull? You could do that live from a microphone.

Having to log back in is just part of the Oral-B Brushing Experience
I prefer the cheap-fucking manual brush my dentist gives me every visit experience.

Why? Because you were dumb enough to buy, or manipulated into buying the toothbrush.

So, class war or butlerian jihad? Pick at least one.
