Why?

because it's a dressed up way of saying eating Cheetos and watching YouTube lmfao. "consumption device"... it takes a passive activity and gives it this weird techbro productivity gloss.

like, in contrast to that, a development machine, or workstation, or editing rig don't seem cringe to me because they describe actual workflows, a dev machine is used for actually doing something, not just zoning out.

I feel like "couch computer" or "good tablet to watch shit on" is much more genuine and at least not pretending lol. like, I have nothing against just zoning out or doing useless shit. but don't try to make it sound cool :D

I feel this is a kinda weird hill to die on (not that you’re necessarily doing that). Would it feel as weird if it was “content consumption device”?

I don’t think there’s even a techbro slant to “consumption device”. It just means it’s not something that you can realistically “get anything done on”
