Didn't he prove it's easy to repair? What exactly is the subscription?
There isn't any "smart" device technology involved. It's a simple analog design. Off the shelf batteries and a motor. No special tools required. The only problem with the design is a liquid resistant seal.
The issue is that it's designed to be disposable. The subscription is to get you a new one of them frequently.
