I agree with you. But it's just the oven, so the risk is just wasting some gas and heating my house up a little until I notice. The cooktop burners can't be operated remotely, so there's no risk of unintended open flames.

Also, because of the crappy WiFi it's almost never connected anyway.

Jajaja! My WiFi oven can't burn my house down cause it's WiFi code is worse than it's heating-element code.
Your modern oven probably has an electronically controlled ignition instead of a pilot light. What would stop the oven from opening the gas valves without igniting, potentially creating a high-risk situation if there are any issues with the seal?
