CSV has the same failure mode. As does HTML. (But not XML)
Use a different separator if you need to.
CSV is the Vim of formats. If you get a CSV from 1970 you can still load it.

In 10 years that appliance may not connect to your wifi if the scheme has changed e.g. 2.4Ghz is dropped or something.
On some of their ovens there is a secret key sequence (like game cheat) to get the buttons working again. Every 6 months you need to do this otherwise pay for a service call to do this. Or have a defunct oven.
But it is not public info they have released (but had been leaked on YT)
So they have software with a bug and a workaround they won't tell you about. Ideally they should recall these ovens and pay for a replacement install.
That is hard to prescribe and those tech giants probably don't care much what it is as long as people are engaged.
