In principle, yes. But the world is full of "cute" lifestyle products,
and as a general rule a lot of them are hopeless.

Therefore, when one is faced with something that looks like a lifestyle
product, the psychological instinct is to start with an assumption that
it's probably mainly form and not much function. It's just not possible
to thoroughly research every option, so a lot of people will remove
items from the shortlist based on the "it looks like a duck, so it's
unlikely to be a swan" premise.
