I would even dare say that all those small gadget are an environmental nightmare and unethical. I know those who build them are passionated people but when you enter something in the market you should have moral rights to not build things whose more than 80% of the items end up in a drawer or bin before at least 2 decades of use.
Not that they are the worse offender, it is a global problem that touch both indie and big corps.

What if a kid who plays with this today ends up being the next XYZ who makes something positive for the world? Im so tired of these dismissive, and while im here lemme say "performative" comments relegating everything to trash. Yes we know there is a "stuff" problem, but this is so far down on the list of concerns I cant even begin to imagine you're saying this seriously.
If you are truly worried about there being more "stuff" your concerns should start with non rechargeable batteries, which are still produced in record numbers, and rarely recycled.

That is so irrelevant. And regardless of the positive things said kid would bring that would not erase the waste ALL other devices have created.
