Cost is also a big thing. With tariffs on Chinese tech goods coming into effect and the fact that everything has gone up in price, like necessary things like groceries (plus the very high likelihood of inflation/greedflation continuing to strangle non-rich people), it's a recipe for people to hang onto their money, not feel safe to spend it.
Unless they say somehow heavily subsidize it with ads and/or some kind of government fund hackery, I think we're all safe from sock-mouth.
