It is hard to imagine that there was not someone inside of Nike that lost their faith in humanity when the pitch for these things was originally taking off.

Heck, these days even routers require app activation for no reason other than to be shitty

There are more often than not alternatives that exist that don't have this requirement.

I’ve probably been unlucky with the ones sold at my nearest electronics store.
