Home robots are literally becoming the new treadmill rack — a $2k+ paperweight collecting dust after the hype dies.
The real problem? Planned obsolescence in hardware that costs more than most people's monthly rent.
Every 2-3 years you're stuck with a giant expensive brick because:
• Software updates stop
• New models make yours incompatible
• No upgrade path, just buy the whole thing again
This is why Web3 robotics and modular hardware matter. Imagine owning the robot, controlling the software layer, and actually being able to upgrade components instead of tossing the whole unit.
Until then, you're just renting an expensive pet that stops working when the company decides.
