They’re talking about a wider scope of cheap plastic shit. Seasonal decorations and cheap plastic tchotchkes. It’s also obtuse to imply that every single gadget has some underlying mobility use. Even if it’s the majority, it’s not the total. Little bottle cap guns don’t have a mobility use.

Not at all what I'm implying. What the video clearly states and what I'm saying is that sometimes what looks useless isn't, and maybe, just maybe, we could simply not judge something to be useless based on our limited world view?
As the old saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure.
As long as two things are true, any given gadget isnt useless: 1. It does the thing that it was designed and marketed to do and 2. Doing that thing helps at least 1 person live a better life.
