I think it's as much about getting a soldering iron into every home the way that a hammer, multibit screwdriver seem to be. It's potentially a huge market to tap into. When I was doing this particular shopping I bought a usb-c powered soldering iron with an open source OS.

Oh I'm not questioning their motivation. I'm wondering if it's a good deal for prospective buyers, given the price, compared to known good tools.
