The company gets to collect data. Your data. They'll get a windfall about how these dishwashers are actually used. This will be useful for their engineering and marketing. They'll also sell your data for profit.
There is no way the backend will be run indefinitely, it will be shutdown at some point. There is also no guarantee that they'll not charge for the service. I would expect charging to be introduced and then the service shut down when it's too costly to keep running.
