I don’t see how you can call it a “trend” when I can’t think of a single mainstream device with such a requirement.



What's a high quality programmable gaming mouse that doesn't require an app to manage it?


Core functionality for all these devices will work perfectly well without an app.

For functionality that does need additional configuration (like extra buttons, RGB colors), you will have to install a companion app and use it once.

There's no case where a peripheral will be non-functional unless a heavy electron app is permanently running alongside it, as the parent comment alleged. If there is, it is absolutely not the standard.
