Well compared to, say, sticky notes (I tried this, yuck) or Google Keep (also tried this), it's a bit more costly, but the subscription is not mandatory so it tampers that edge. But I'm not sure you can fully dismiss the value. Some find the aesthetics of rainbow sticky notes unappealing -- or dislike high tech solutions of web/mobile app for their proximity to other time wasting activities and vices -- there is appeal in a low tech, sleek and visually appealing card system like this. I've done some hobby woodworking, and even ordered cards printed overseas before to resurrect a board game that went extinct, and I think you can even make an argument you can DIY it much cheaper (sans labour of course) but anybody who's done a big enough project can relate that sometimes it's okay to defer that to someone else (who lives in Pennsylvania I assume) if it brings more time and value to you and you value the product -- and especially here where I would argue that value pays dividends in the future in being more productive due to the compounding effects of it all.

But despite this all, I would align myself to your viewpoint just out of principle of having anti-consumerism alignment.

Well, let me refer you to the wild hustle and bustle world of NFTs where you don't even get something physical!
