"Smart" features that stupid, unnecessary, or even harmful.
Devices that are (bad kind of) internet-dependent, harvest data, are a security risk, and such.

I could see it being used by parents to track when their kids brush, but that is still kinda weird.

It supposedly tracks spots you miss and gives you 7x healthier gums***** with up to 100% less stains***** and it also reminds you when to replace the grindy bits. (I mostly think that it is 100% bullshit***)
