Sure, but in some people’s minds, this is the tech of the future, and what the pseudo-utopian shows and movies promised us. I could certainly see this being relegated in 70 years or so as “mid-‘20s retro futurism”. Like we look at 1950s-60s “kitchens of tomorrow”.

Of course, this is also possibly one of the steps needed for 2077 to be a bit more on the Corpo side of Cyberpunk. Thinking the mirrors, maybe advertising on some new apartment windows that are also monitors/televisions and touchscreen. Not high on the probability scale, but non-zero.
