    Designers were probably thinking “well this is stupid but it’s what I’m paid to do and I didn’t decide to have a fucking bed be always online”. The execs that made the decision are probably thinking "why didn’t the designers think of this problem and prevent it? We should fire some. "

      That assumes the execs didn’t just contract out all the development and neglect to include an offline requirement.

      The designers weren’t going to get paid for the extra work so they didn’t do it.
