There is functionality hidden in the app, so that the manufacturer can save a dime and a half on some buttons. Unfortunately, this line has already been crossed.
The functionality that is hidden: Rinse, Machine Care (self-cleaning), HalfLoad, Eco and Delay start.
I trust Consumer Reports and would never buy an appliance without consulting them, but it doesn't surprise me that they're a little conservative and wouldn't realize they need to call this stuff out initially.
The interesting bit would be to have the reaction from Bosch. They "updated" their design and the review score went down.
In the meantime "wifi" is a feature that can be filtered on in their sorting tool.
And if the TV decided to implement weird, non-standard control signals, it can be a pain to access certain functionality with universal remotes (e.g. settings).
Different path to get there, but same end result: not being able to access functionality without going through an annoying manufacturer-specific route.
