Roomba is a sign that capitalism is a failure.

Under commerce you make a product. You sell it.
Then you might sell it to a larger number of people. This is good because you make more money.
Eventually you might be selling to everyone you possibly can. This is great, you're now providing the most product you can and making the most money you can.
You won. Relax, set up a foundation, throw some fancy parties. Everyone can have the product now.

Under capitalism you do all of the above right up until "you won". Replace that with "you lost, you are bankrupt now, no one can have to product anymore".
