I want to bring an alternate viewpoint into the discussion. For some a product like Leeo may sound superfluous and may not seem to justify the added value it provides for the rise in cost(99$+). (Note there is some added value however trivial it may be). For others they may say no to a product like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nest.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nest.com&#x2F;</a> or this <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;on.google.com&#x2F;hub&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;on.google.com&#x2F;hub&#x2F;</a> based on their financial flexibility and their lifestyle (which you may see as &#x27;obviously&#x27; needed).<p>I do think in this case, the best judge is the free market. If any product maker provides added value at a price point where there will be enough buyers and they see profit, their business will run successfully, else it will fail like any other business. How can my opinion decide what is a good product, it is the market that should decide it!<p>There are lot of independent products that solve mostly one problem - cars for eg:<p>Every product design does not have to solve multiple problems, it is just that the users need to feel that it justifies its cost based on the value it provides.
