HomePod flopped because few people want to spend hundreds of dollars on Siri when they could spend tens of dollars on Google home which is a better voice assistant. Having good audio quality doesn't explain the price tag when you can pair Google home with a dumb speaker if you find the audio quality is insufficient.

An equivalent quality speaker + amp system, etc will cost you about the same or more, take up more space and create a wire mess.
