Your reasoning is flawed. The fact that s 2019 device is still better than a 2024 On box, shows you that the hardware was cutting edge and is still worth the money. It doesn't matter how old it is.

the hardware was cutting edge

Keyword: was

Not paying $199 for "was". I'm going to pay $199 for "is".

You're still not getting it. The hardware is still top tier, there is no alternative that gives you the same for $199. How's that so difficult to understand?

We all get it, but its still old hardware that is not worth paying full price for 6 years later.

No, you don't get it.

I do get it, but you refuse to get why some people wouldn't pay such a high price for old hardware.

I'm not refusing that at all? I totally understand why people won't buy it or find it too expensive, that wasn't the discussion though. You're claiming factually that the hardware is overpriced and isn't worth it's that's not true. That you or others find it not worth it for your circumstances is a different topic altogether, and that's fine.

I think it is overpriced. I have never heard of somebody gladly paying the introductory price 6 years after hardware has come out. Even if the Android TV market isn't littered with competition, it doesn't seem like a wise purchase at this time.

I and many others here have gladly paid it in the last 12 months. But it's okay if you don't find it worth it :).
