> I wouldn't care so much if it's optional.

This is exactly the argument that android/ios apps, google accounts etc, is it optional or not. I couldn't go to the gym where I paid in advance because I didn't have supported phone (latest android or ios). You'll always have a choice right, now it's the choice to wash your clothes by hand. Who knows next time you might not get an apartment without a gov approved android/ios app on your phone, it's a brave good old world again.
