Love my HomePods - although they were either purchased used or when on sale for $199. The standard retail price on them makes no sense.
I'm all in on Apple, but I fear that some long distant future version of iOS will drop support and brick them. I still use audiophile quality loudspeakers purchsed back in the 70's and 80's because the analog tech never obsoletes. I doubt a 20-year old HomePod would even boot, and even if it did, nothing would likely connect to it.
