For me the fact that it has NFC built-in makes it perfect for my usecase. I looked at the M5 and friends but having to add an extra add-on box with a cable was a nonstarter for me.
Is this similar to a Flipper Zero? It seems some of the capabilities are there but maybe not all even though you could add anything with the extensions it seems.
There can be other valid usecases than yours where the price is not an issue.
And surely you are aware of the challenges of supply+demand and the issue of using offshore labor... that means most products made ethically and at low volumes are inherently going to be expensive.
This has NFC built-in which is something I've been looking for for a long time, there are no other ready-made programmable devices on the market you can buy that have a screen, touch, NFC and a battery, that I know of, so it's perfect for me, and the price is not a concern.
