I'm supportive of the original idea because I think it's fun and cool. I agree with everything you've said, but we're talking a bit at cross angles. You're looking at it from what it would take for this to be a successful, competitive, and profitable consumer product. I'm looking at if it is technically feasible and can be made for non-absurd amounts of money. Our threshold of non-absurd may also differ, but given there are some people will pay $20k+ for an espresso machine, there are likely some who would pay several hundred dollars for a tea kettle.

Being fun and cool isn't all that great when you end up with a product that just has some prototypes and a bunch of hype, but then the company goes bankrupt before it goes anywhere. There are some examples of things like $20k espresso machines that were successful, but I think they're rare.
