Now, but not when it was invented and first came out. When the car was invented it was barely more useful than a horse and for many jobs horses were still used. Give all the home automaton time and I guarantee it fill far pass what it does now. Not a single argument you have is unique in either product or time. EVERYTHING you say was said of cars or many other technologies before this. Horses were way more reliable, parts were specially made (talk about lock in), and there was obsolescence there too. It is absurd to think "but this time its different" and you somehow have hit some good enough level of technology in this area.
