Only the ones who can afford the thousands upon thousands to use it/repair it/maintain though.

That's how tech starts. Title says it's novel. Even a 9 function calculator was high tech one day in the past. A digital one was an unreachable price for most. Now you have one bundled into another device and probably don't even use it often.

It's cool that this exists because before now it didn't at ANY price.
