No surprise there. There's no reason to buy it unless it's for collector value. Just like all the classic/mini consoles.

Your personal opinion.  A lot of people buying the other retro systems bought them for use and enjoyment.

There could simply be software for the games themselves. See how many 15 to 20 dollar "____ Greatest Hits" collections there are. The software would cost a fraction of the mini console. The mini console itself is useless since it has no operation of a console. It's not a console at all. It's basically software itself. So you are paying $60 - $100 for a fancy dressed "greatest hits" software. So the only reason to buy it is for collector's value. Which is what Sony/Nintendo will exploit its consumers for.
