It’s like the Rick and Morty bit about the butter bot. “What is my purpose?” “You say your battery level.” “Oh my God.”

  At least the butter bot has some utility to someone.

  At least the butter bot does something useful. This is more like a machine who's only function is to turn itself off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useless_machine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useless_machine

    if it is doing battery level, I guess it is also doing power on, and leds. It doesn't say it does charging anymore, so maybe it does battery level until it goes to 0?

That's emblematic of their entire business arc. "What's the most pointless matter-of-fact thing we could say/do in any given situation, just for the sake of the checkmark of having said/done it?"
