If you look carefully, this “thing” is less about solving a problem, but rather creating a demand. And this “thing” they are selling is a idea of a lifestyle, not a machine. In other word, they are selling you a fictional “lifestyle”. It was never about solving a roti problem.
Your entire meal won’t just be roti. So where will the rest of the food come from? If you are making the rest of the meal, then why not make the roti or at least eat something else beside roti. If you are using this roti machine and do a take-out for the rest of the food, then why not also add roti to the take-out order? The $1000 entire thing makes no sense.
For disclaimer, I actually think it is fine if someone likes to eat roti every day and want a machine to help her/him out and this machine performs well. Heck, people spend twice as much for a cup of espresso machine for once a day, right? Yet, I have a strong suspicion that this is not about selling a roti machine.
