So I actually have one that does.
I get notifications when laundry is done.
I get a notification when I need to do routine maintenance like change filters, or refill the detergent. (It has a built-in jug and dispenser) I can send it settings via the app, which is easier than via the built in controls. (It has things like extra rinse, wash times for different rinses, and steaming and stuff). It's not impossible to do via the interface, but it's a bit easier via the phone.
The one I had also sent me a notification if the clothes were too humid after the drying cycle, so I could add more minutes to it. That was a Samsung tho
It was an ECO mode, most of the time it was enough, but sometimes you need the real power. I guess it didn't do itself because it would consume more power
I liked the connected features but now that I use a "dumb" washer and a dryer I don't really miss them
