Why does the end product of an electronics learning project need to be useful? Or any hobby project?

So we agree it is useless? OK.

Kind of, it's a pretty shit phone, and the creator is not pretending otherwise. Why are you so offended and why should they do whatever you want them to do instead?

I am not. I said it was ridiculous and led to nowhere with software being much better solution. Suddenly multiple people felt offended by this simple statement of fact.

Solution to what? Electronics hobby? Dictating what people's projects should and shouldn't be is kind of an asshole thing to do.
