We mainly need humanoids to replace jobs with repetitive tasks i.e. harvesting crops or any kind of service related jobs and tasks perofrmed in dangerous environments like mines, disaster zones, war zones etc.
Eventually having a humanoid at home doing the dishes and whatever other tasks we find boring is a byproduct of developing a capable robot for the repetitive and dangerous jobs.
Without a personal opinion one way or the other, I would assume the gripe is with congesting the public network as opposed to the choice of public domain documentaries you downloaded.
I get the impression that the 'handheld scanner' may be tethered to the till (like in B&Q) rather than one you can carry round with you (like Sainsbury's/Asda/Tesco)
That is why there is the Gnome Tweak tool and Gnome extensions. You get a great out-of-the-box experience for regular users and good customizability for advanced users. If you want extreme customizability just don't use Gnome. IMO Gnome gets way too much unwarranted critique here.
The problem with fixing all its problems with extensions is that they aren't always updated in time for new releases.
And the tweak tool, sure but really the options in there should have been standard settings from the start. This is the core problem with this product.
I don't use Gnome because I find its out-of-the-box experience to be pretty horrible. I couldn't figure out how to fix it, and didn't know about these tools. But it's fine, I'm really happy with the DE I use.
Why do you have to open the camera in order to use the flashlight on an android phone? The button to turn the flashlight on is in the quick settings panel which can also be opened from the lock screen.
