Uh, the one we have doesn’t do any wifi. Turn the dual to set the temp and push it to heat to temp. Maybe that’s what the “pro” stuff is about? And agreed, that’s absolutely silly.
I’m just throwing out there homekit integration and automation. You can open your door home from work and the kettle starts boiling. Or heats up before you get downstairs for morning coffee.

Ok, yeah, definitely had an update since we bought a couple years ago. At least it looks like the wifi stuff is for firmware updates only.
Why does a kettle need firmware?! It does one thing. Heat water. It turn electricity on when water is below a temperature.
Unless physics is getting updates on a regular basis, there is no good reason for a kettle to need anything except electricity.

Niche, but not useless.
