Ask HN: Why don’t toasters have built in smoke detectors?

crazygringo asked “Why don't microwave ovens have IR cameras to tell when food is done?” [https://ift.tt/3kZH1oi], but I want to know why toasters don’t have a built in smoke detector that can shut off the power as soon as the toast starts to burn, preventing the kitchen smoke alarm from triggering? Seems simple, obvious and cheap to implement.
