Every so often, they caught fire.

    "what if we installed a thing that was less functional and more expensive and required a lot more maintenance and also introduces new problems on top of solving no existing ones"

      This has to be an actual thing, right? Techwashing has to be real phenomenon.

      Rube Goldberg being vindicated about technology yet again.

      The only problem (one I REALLY have to nitpick on) that I could see this fixing is sometimes the windows are fogged up, making it hard to see what's inside.

        There are industrial water repellents that fix this

              yep, when I play hockey or go biking when the temps are low, glasses fog up easily from your breath. Just apply a very thin layer of dish soap, a small dab on both sides of the lenses then wipe off, just leaving a very thin layer that won't affect your vision.

              Soap is handy for bathroom mirrors as well, although you do have to reapply it.

              Industrial water repellent definitely suggests some slippery forever chemical though
