I get the sentiment and the insecure connectivity is pure incompetence, but commercial refrigeration is not the same as consumer refrigeration, with much more complex controls required to deal with managing large energy consumption, irregular and frequent access, variable amount of goods being held, and usually mandatory persisted logging and automatic alarms, sometime being sent centrally and 24 hourly to meet strict food regulations.

Nowhere do fridges need to send off data to meet any regulation. Nowhere do they need to be remotely controlled. Period. This is not something that showed up in the 21st century. Grocery stores have been successfully refrigerating things since before personal computers even existed.
