Totally agree that this isn't a good full pentesting device, but I also think that such a device doesn't need to be in order to be popular. Just look at the IM-ME when Samy Kamkar showed it off [0] and it sold out.

Most people don't need a full SDR like a HackRF in order to explore their RF devices and a Flipper gives that too them without the headache of software and the bulk of a full PortaPack.

(I love my HackRF and PortaPack for the record. The Flipper can't complete with the features and low-level access when you need it)
