They also have a 'teenyserv'. Handheld computer with 64GB RAM and an 8 core i7 processor. [1]

It really seems like these are variations of The Homer. [2] I don't see a use case in mind for them, and the designers seem mostly really excited about the designs. So it looks like these are pet projects that got taken a little too seriously.

Not quite. The designs are only part of the picture. We care mostly about utility. We're quite fedup with this trend of unsustainable, premature obsoletion [1] that is the current norm for hardware. Our design philosophy is very simple. [1] https://expanscape.com/about-us/the-3-us/

That's great to hear. Too often I get caught up in ideas for projects that fit my interests, but don't fit the rest of the world. This looked like that kind of project, but I'm glad it isn't.
