They did the same thing with dishwashers. They still don’t get it...most of us rinse/wash off the dishes before they go in the dishwasher. I basically use it for sterilizing.

Yep, that’s our MO. Of course, I never had a DW that could really handle dirty dishes with dried-on food. We’ve rinsed by hand and used the DW for sterilizing for decades.
I have dog(s).
Never had to rinse off anything
It was removing phosphates from the detergent that ruined dishwashers. I have added them back in. A tiny bit of TSP, which can be found at Home Depot, helps to energize the cleaning action. Too much though will harm glassware. Just a skinch is all you need.
