So, right now you have like a modern Samsung fridge with a screen and app, or something, but if a company produced a nicer simple one, then you'd finally decide to build your own?
Right now I have a dumb fridge from the 2000s that works just fine, thank you very much. A company could produce a nicer, simpler one, but given the state of similar products and their adoption (fairphone, pinephone, framework, ecogeek), they'll never reach a market share and price point that makes them competitive as compared to me putting together an insulated box, some copper coils, and a compressor. I already made a fridge as a college project, after all. Which is exactly what I plan to do once my current fridge croaks.
