What a tragedy Robert Bosch Stiftung isn't receiving the dividends into his personal accounts, as this means he's not incentivized to keep innovating or to reduce prices.
He’s also been dead for 80 years, which also removes his incentives.
There's always an excuse...

I think you should look at their catalog. Their dishwashers have some wacky innovations like zeolite dryers. Their windshield wipers are very high quality and easy to install. These are just two examples.
At least you didn't go full 2026 anti capitalism rant that Bosch shouldn't exist to donate revenue in the first place :)
