First, Im questioning whether smart beds should exist. But let's assume there's a use case for them, shouldn't the maker of these beds ensure that they don't malfunction if they have no connection? I'd hold the company that produces these smart beds liable first of all.

This is what happens when pure software people, with no hardware experience/education, do hardware for the first time. I've seen it multiple times, including in robotics. The mindset can be too far disconnected from real world consequences, especially those of electrons doing their thing.

In this case, the problem seems to be a complete disconnect from reality itself, at the decision making level of the company. I'm guessing many of an engineer there are saying "told you so".
