This article is propaganda to normalize the enshittification of the houses. Ask any family with kids if they find the dishwasher useful.

Dishwashers use less water then hand washing. They are a net gain to any household.

...Until you need an app to use them...

I'm single and I find the dishwasher useful. I probably only run it about once a week too. Also, it cost me less than $600.

I still do a lot of washing by hand though because I don't put wood or plastic in there.

I don't have kids, washing by hand isn't an option, as this tiny place lacks the counter space for it.

I find that it's mainly useful as extra drying rack space. Washing dishes by hand barely takes any longer than loading up a dishwasher and sometimes having to rewash dishes that don't come out clean.
