Or it is not a device for average consumers. 

Exactly like the laptop was not an average consumer device when it was $3500, or even $2500 of the first “mainstream” models. 

Um… remember the GRiD Compass, from 1982?  One of those would have set you back over $8000.
Accounting for inflation, that’s equivalent to $27,000 today.

The Touch Bar on my ‘19 NBP still gets love from me - though I loved it more when you could still, say, drag the volume tool continuously, as opposed to the incremental taps it was eventually dumbed-down to.  I do like that system dialog responses are still available there.  

That specification table… did anyone bother to proof the format/structure once it was published?

Keys I get. Everyone misplaces keys. But what other item, that is sufficiently large to attach an AirTag to, do people misplace? Has anyone, ever, really lost a back pack, or forgot your carry-on luggage? And even if, these are three items.  I’d love to read ideas because I ordered four AirTags and I don’t yet know what to do with them! 

Once, nearly two decades ago, I misplaced my primary keyboard (musical instrument) at the conclusion of a gig.  It was late, I was tired and unfocused (helping other band members distracted me).  I didn’t realize what I’d done until the morning after, by which time it was long gone, never to be seen again.  It was a Kurzweil, the Rolls-Royce of keyboards in its heyday.  Not cheap.

You can absolutely bet I’m tagging my current music rig.

Then there are app developers that are the opposite of greedy... who put a top-quality app out there and continue to improve it, for YEARS, without charging their customer base anything after the initial purchase.  ForScore does this, but I honestly don’t see how they stay in business.  (I PayPal them every couple of years, in appreciation.)
