Dishwasher electronics are subject to elevated heat and humidity levels. A DIY solution will be extremely unreliable. An amateurish job on the power electronics can be a fire hazard and will void any insurance policy if they find out what you did.
Maybe someone who is skillful enough to be able to DIY a micro-controller will also think about these issues and deal with them too? Or is that too hard to imagine?
That is not what the post to which you replied said nor implied. Instead, it reads thusly:

Maybe all people who attempt such things are not aware of the concerns raised?
Safety third.
That sounds draconian, do you have any examples of home insurance policies that do this? Is this common in reality?
