LG's New Instant Coffee Machine Mixes Two Pods, Generates Twice the Trash, and its Nasa-inspired design looks like the Apollo lunar lander is relieving itself in your coffee cup. (gizmodo.com)

Is there a point to this apart from crass consumerism?

There is merit to the huge variety of flavour combinations you could get from mixing two pods together, I do that quite often with whole coffee beans myself depending on what I feel like drinking. You could keep a dozen different pods stocked and make 66 combos from them.
Which you could also do by brewing two pods back to back with a regular pod machine, but I guess that would be too much effort.

But like, everytime I've had Nespresso coffee, it never tasted that noticeably different between varieties. So it's not like you're gonna be getting much out of that.

And with all the variability they pitch, like, why not get a home espresso machine for cheaper?
