It’s probably robot vacuums. They need to sync schedules, map the room, log their status and location so you can see which areas were cleaned, update themselves, etc,
Certain models can be flashed with open source firmware that can make them run locally. But just as with every other consumer electronic device, the number of people who care about privacy, data control, or even just reliability and fault tolerance is small enough that no companies build products for them.
