  Money. What does your house look like. What items are in your house (the j- models of Roombas include cameras for object identification). These give Amazon additional leverage in building a customized marketing campaign to your eyeballs.

    This seems dubious. Having a in-market consumer brand with millions of customers is much more valuable than being able to get X% better at targeted recommendations.
