Yes to all you said.

But.

My mother is over the moon with her airpods (not pro) and the iphone 5s I gave her a year ago: now she can watch tv, listen to music and sit where she fancies without worrying about anything else.

Yes, she is short of hearing. This device despite having alternatives just solved her problem.

The alternatives may be there. These things are just known, easy to use and useful.

Oh indeed, they are good wireless headphones and for some people they are utter magic (I mean they are uber small, its fantastic how small they are)

but they are not a platform.
