Holy shit, for that much money you can get a commercial grade refrigerator that's built like a tank and has none of this crap.

Have a link to those fridges?
Something like this maybe? https://www.katom.com/338-C2RHC.html This one is massive, you could get a smaller one and a chest freezer and still be at or under $3500. Maybe something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085489JZ2
The only downside is they are a little louder and use a bit more power because they're meant to be opened 100 times a day and cool down food really fast (for safety). You also have to measure your space because these come in a lot of shapes and sizes compared to residential models.
When I needed a new fridge I went with a "garage" model for similar reasons. It's meant as a second fridge people keep in their garage, so it doesn't have any extras. Not even an ice maker, which was fine for me since those commonly fail.
If I ever won the lottery I would dedicate my life to fucking with the business practices of cloud-connected appliance companies, data brokers, and DRM protected media companies.
Death to Samsung.
Please don't forget to extend your services to jail breaking car-based telemetry when you do.
You should get back what you paid for that fridge now that it's ad supported. C'mon Samsung! Give us our fridge money back!
I guess they won't push it in the EU or they will be sued unless they clearly stated it at buying time or offer an alternative that doesn't diminish the bought item.
Samsung sucks.
