What if it's intended to indicate status? It's a $200 replacement for a sticky note on your door... Maybe it should be conspicuous, with a distinct style and a prominent logo. Like, you're not knocking on just anyone's door, your knocking on the door of someone with a Ring doorbell on their house and a Tesla charging port on the garage, etc. Maybe it's meant to appeal to that sort of person.

I live in a neighborhood where Teslas, BMW 7-Series, etc. are far more common than Hondas. Lots of money, and very status-conscious. And I can't imagine seeing this on any of the houses on my street. If you are the kind of person who hires an interior designer to design every room of your house, and a high end landscaping service to keep the yard looking nice, you're going to care about an incongruous doorbell too.
Yeah, I agree with that assessment... I'm just wondering if that was the direction they were going, regardless of how well it's executed.
