It speaks to whether it was useful in any capacity. There's also a point to be made about advertising having a solution to a problem without actually having solved any instance of it in practice.
The person you’re responding to didn’t tell you to care. They asked a question. The brand of knee-jerk hostility in your comment isn’t welcome on this site.
It does seem that they put in a lot of effort to construct their device so I'm less inclined to call the engineering part of it a PR stunt.
