I would love if my printer was more dumb. It's cheaper to buy an AIO than a separate document (with duplex) and flatbed scanner.

Nowadays smartphones do credible document scanning for most consumer use cases. iPhones had this built in before COVID at the latest.

But the printer comment was actually a reference to a meme about how different groups of people relate to technology.

Nobody on the Internet can ring my doorbell because it's a dumb button that connects to a dumb, literal bell.

Now do 40 pages, front-and-back, with your smartphone.

I mean yes and no. If I knew your address, I could 100% ring your doorbell from the Internet.

CTRL+T, doordash.com, McDonalds, "ring doorbell please", pay, done.

I know this isn't what you mean, but, humans are buttons (or button pressers?)

To handle older cars that can't close the door by itself, Waymo (used to?) pay nearby DoorDash drivers to close it.
