It is definitely an unnecessary feature, as it doesn't help achieve its core function. But It is probably a marketing feature and also a way for the company to improve monetization. An app will probably push filter subscriptions. I am going to research privacy concerns with this product because of all this data being created. I have a suspicion that they could be selling data to the data brokers.

The Winix C909 is a larger, more powerful air purifier that stands out for strong room coverage, smart-home control, and Costco's filter bundle and return policy. The app and WiFi add scheduling, remote fan control, filter status, and automation with Home Assistant or Alexa, while the washable prefilter catches a surprising amount of pet hair. It also uses the same filter set as the C535 and older 5500 series, though the Costco package may not match the earlier two-filter offer. The main tradeoff is noise, especially on higher speeds, and the WiFi features feel unnecessary if you only want basic purification.

...but now that I've done a quick search, there are several vids bearing replacements and it uses standard 608ZZ bearings which I just happen to already have around. Suppose I'll give that a shot before dropping $165.
Edit: Easier said than done, looks like it'll require some desoldering to get to one of the bearings. I can probably manage but not a quick/easy fix.

The C909 from Costco comes with 2 years of filters, and the return policy can't be beat if you happen to need it.

Get this one. The Daikin is no longer on sale. The Winix C909 is also more powerful and covers a much larger room area (it's better to go over than under). The main thing the Daikin had going for it was the 50% off price and a humidifier (if you needed one).
And of course, the Costco return policy can't be beat if you happen to need it.
It's quiet most of the time, but something feels a bit off?! or maybe it's just me since this is my first air purifier?! It doesn't seem like it's pushing much air.
One second the sensor says the air is clean, the next it goes crazy and the fan ramps up for a couple of minutes, then it goes quiet again. Is that normal?
Just wanted to see if this is normal behavior for a device like this. Thanks.
