I'd actually add that one of the biggest uses for so many "unnecessary" devices is opening up ability/convenience to people with various disabilities. Practically every worthless "as seen on TV" gadget has a niche use for someone. Jar openers help arthritis. Pouring gadgets help people with reduced motor control. Smart bulbs help people who are in pain whenever they get up.
