That assumes the execs didn't just contract out all the development and neglect to include an offline requirement.

The designers weren't going to get paid for the extra work so they didn't do it.

    and neglect to include an offline requirement

    Oh the innocence. Execs don't neglect that, they specifically ask for that. This bed doesn't work without a subscription so offline functionality would lose them money
