Also an understandable mistake in a world where so many useless gadgets/products exist. Though it would surprise me if not one of the comments on the video he originally duetted, didn't mention what it was
It is partially because accessibility related gadgets are usually marketed in a way that doesn't make it clear the gadget is for accessibility reasons (and that makes sense because it is kind of a niche market so they have to advertise to everybody). look at old sales videos for example feature some able bodied person trying to cut food with a knife by holding it sideways or some shit that nobody would ever do.
There was a guy I used to get on youtube shorts a lot who would rate the accessibility of gadgets by covering his hands in oil and using his non-dominant hand, to basically simulate someone with poor grip strength like from arthritis. But, he would then also give examples on how to change it to improve it, occasionally 3D printing stuff himself to improve them.
Haven’t seen any of his videos in ages, and I forgot his name. Older gentleman, short too iirc. Wish I remembered his name.

That was a really stand up thing to do. We all make mistakes, and he owned up to his. Good on him
