Its a gimmick. When Bitcoin originally released, every wallet was also a full node and a miner. So this expensive toy tries to harken back to that simpler time. But there's a reason why wallets, nodes and miners use different software/hardware today.
Learning the tools of the ecosystem can be daunting, but putting them all into one package with a sleek UI and phat price tag isn't the way.
For this price you can buy a used S9 and a build a beefy full node server. And you will emerge with more knowledge and useful skills even if it takes you much longer to get up and running.
