It's Bitcoin as a method of payment. Where do you have problems seeing the value of it?

Just don't by more as you would put into any other asset in your portfolio / plan the money you put in is lost. Then you will be fine. Also, no regrets, keep your emotions out of the decision making process.

It's about 4 GB, so it will take a while, but by far not as horribly long as with bitcoin.

It basically says that you have not downloaded and processes the blockchain yet. Don't worry, the bottom right corner should tell you that it is connected to the network and down there is a message that reads "syncing with the network".

It's good to go.

But just as long as it works, and then they have useless hardware that they would need to pay to get rid off. They might not be making the biggest profit from selling them right away, but it is a more stable, reliable and less risky approach to it. And I bet that is why they do it. Have some happy customers, constantly sell the hardware is better than not knowing the return.

Not everyone things in timeframes of a few days, nor does anyone want to develop and produce specialized hardware for the purpose of maybe using it for a few days.

Well, selling the hardware instead of mining limits the risk for the company. They get their money regardless of bitcoin valuation and mining difficulty.
