It seems to come down to a price/performance issue
Which makes sense to me. The garden thing loses because it's really expensive and doesn't do much. The blender is better, because at least it's a really good blender, but for significantly less money you can get a blender that's as good.
The eggamuffin maker is gimmicky, but for what it does it's also inexpensive. Fun, not too much money, and you can make toast with it when you're out of eggs. Necessary? No, but I got one for my daughter for Christmas because she doesn't have a toaster already and will have fun with it. Good value for the money.
Then there's this. If it was $10 and I was deeply committed to edge brownies, sure, maybe. But at $34, no thanks. I'm one of those who likes the gooey center brownies myself, but my wife likes the edges and I've seen her use three bread pans rather than a sheet pan to make all-edge brownies. We already have the bread pans, they're not unitaskers, and they're inexpensive to replace. AND she gets the same result.
