Electric car drivers have range anxiety, and I assume foldable phone users have fold anxiety. Do the OS integrate some counter versus Mean Folds to Failure?
Do you accept everything? Are you enthusiastic for scammers that prey on rich sycophants?
The parent comment is right. Their logic is cyclical, they acknowledge that Teenage Engineering is widely accepted to be overpriced hipster crap, and then refuse to defend their conclusion that it's not made for the hipster audience. They do not posit what their "amazing inventions" are, or qualify their justification for buying two (!!!) OP-1 models, or link to the music that could only be made with the OP-1. They are responding to marketing, which is not a healthy habit of consumption in any market. For musicians, it's called Gear Acquisition Syndrome (chronic GAS).
In essence, you are criticizing someone for challenging a rich snake-oil customer.
The problem with snake oil is it didn't work (the back story of snake oil is worth a perusal). You may think this device is overpriced, but if it does actually do what it claims to do, then the label snake oil does not apply.
As far as GAS, it's their money. People can enjoy their hobby how they choose to. If I want to buy a video game and spend all my time customizing my character and not actually playing the actual game part, who're you to criticize how someone wants to enjoy their hobby?
