Heh, but I actually do wonder what the draw is for users - e.g. is it just to have the latest device (like google glasses) or ?

Mine was a gift and I use it purely for entertainment. If I ask to any type of music, she does until I tell her to stop. There are games on there as well, we are currently hooked on the “escape the room”. An escape room where you have to listen and use your imagination. I have not gotten any of the light fixture things or the thermostat interface. I use the shopping list feature that creates a shopping list on my phone - pretty cool feature. I can say “Alexa, add toothpaste to my shopping list” while cooking dinner and it is done. A learning moment happened when my daughter was supposed to put Frosted Flakes on the shopping list, but she said buy Frosted Flakes. We had to run into the office and cancel the order on Amazon. She was shocked at how expensive cereal is these days. All in all, we are happy with it, but do make fun of NSA listening.
