Except for the diss - which I felt was quite unnecessary - I don't think that's fair. There are people out there that definitely would have use of something like this if it existed.
Feels a bit on the small size for me, but if you spend a fair amount of time in crampes networking/gear closets, I can see how it would be useful.
I have worked in environments where I've had to lug around screens, RS232, RS485, CAN bus adapters, SD card readers, you name it. Have had to scrounge up extension cables to get power because there are no jacks within 20m, and the list goes on.
Yes you can use adapters and dongles, yes you get by, it's your job to make things work. But in certain kind of environments a machine in this vein is something that actually would make work more efficient, and much more fun.
While these environments might be getting more rare nowadays, they are not extinct by a long shot.
