Seems like that's the goal of all companies today - turn everything into a skinner box aimed at directly stimulating the pleasure senses while stimulating a stream of money from your bank account. Maybe it failed because the lock was sold as a one off payment instead of a subscription model, and didn't sync (yet) with a dopamine-dosing brain implant.

Most of the times, they don't give a flying fuck about the product itself and whether or not it actually does anything useful for customers - the whole point is to get into someone's wallet; the product is just a proxy (and often customers themselves are a proxy too, to get more money from the investors). Getting paid for building something valuable seems to be a dead concept in the startup economy.
