If you bought a washing machine that needs Internet access you are a fucking idiot.

They don't need wifi, so no, you're not an idiot if you buy one and just leave it disconnected

But you are an idiot if you buy one that NEEDS wifi to function.

Most of them don't have non-wifi variants, at least not that I know of

I have a Speed Queen washer and dryer. Quality products don't rely on gimmicks, they do their job.
