That is a curious take, but I fail to see how it is relevant in here. These products are directed towards writers who have a romantic notion of historic writers hunched over their keyboards while being free of worldly distractions. It is not one of the office worker passing their work off to a secretary to be typed up. (Admittedly, the article's author seems to suggest that it would be a better fit for the nostalgia for servants when they talk about how writing used to be done.)
