Gee, I wonder why. Could it be...

1) No bluetooth support, automatically cutting their market in half
2) Siri on Homepod won't play anything from your iTunes library that wasn't purchased from Apple, or connect to any alternative streaming services... unlike Alexa on Echo, which will
3) Siri is a lame personal assistant, especially on Homepod
4) The high price

This is a half-baked product that will never be what it should be due to Apple's newfound Microsoftesque obsession with vendor lock-in. What a dud.

“mass device deployment (MDM)”

Did you mean to say mass device management, or did you mean to use MDD throughout the article?

The Galaxy S9 seems like a Honda Accord using NOX to catch up to a Corvette.

Ugh... the notch. Of all the iPhone features that the Android universe could copy, why that one?

These are not workout headphones.
So much excess sweat(which has salt) entering the headphones might have compromised it.
Thats why I always keep my AirPods clean & dry.

Except that Apple depicts people doing acrobatic dancing with Airpods in. If they can't handle sweat, Apple should be clear about that up front. If they're supposed to handle sweat, he bought a defective pair and this should be resolved soon enough.

As for people pushing conspiracy fantasies: go back to your 9/11 websites and leave Apple alone.
