Yes, this is the reason why the products exist. The harder question is why people are hyping them up. My guess is a combination of gadget lust and a general unease about how central smartphones have become in our lives.

They got lots of media coverage (paid and paid in kind by bringing in ad revenue). They were talked-up on X by all the VCs (paid in kind by hyping the segment they invest in) and the AI influencers (paid by ads).
