welp, since nowadays a lot of clothing is some synth garbage, it's not that critical compared to washing some quality woolens, especially if washing instructions are gone. Expiry dates are still an indicator for food expiration, especially for animal products. Yes, for honey/salt it doesn't make sense. These are nice to have things that i'm sure will eventually be implemented in some way. To me it sounds a bit similar with that dropbox meme - yes, you can do everything 'manually', but some automation will definitely help. And as always, with many products it's actually correct to assume people don't think that much about how to use it, the more intuitive and automated is the process, the more ppl will have it easier
