Because it is made redundant by literally everything else that is already in your kitchen. You can’t name one thing this appliance does that a pressure cooker, stove/oven and crock pot don’t already do.
It also doesn’t replace any of those other devices so unless you’re a college dorm resident it’s just another massive thing on your counter for basically no value or reason
Just because you didn’t see value in the product doesn’t mean others don’t. It saved space for me because I don’t need a slow cooker, rice cooker, pressure cooker, yogurt maker etc. They’re all gone and replaced with a one stop shop of “if it’s wet it goes in the IP”.
It simplified processes and made them amazingly repeatable too. Stocks are a breeze: set, forget, comeback when it beeps. I don’t nurse temperatures, times and don’t stress things boiling over, boiling dry, getting too hot or not hot enough.
Sterilisation for brewing: come back when it beeps. Yogurt making: come back when it beeps. Dough fermenting: come back when it beeps. Soup: come back when it beeps.
My fiancée wouldnt touch pressure cooking because she’s anxious it will explode, now she comes back when it beeps.
It doesn’t do anything as well as any dedicated device true enough, but it’s good enough to not buy those things and just use the IP. I’d have to eat a lot of rice to get a rice cooker as well as an IP.

I’m glad you have all that in your kitchen.
