Anything that produces a waveform is NOT boring...

Yes, maybe right. . . Not boring!
But from the vids I see, it is certainly not inspiring either. The sound is jerky and erratic.
There is no harmony and flow. It is more like pizzicato style.
I can't see a need for musicians to take it up.
I can't see a place for it in a band or orchestra.
A solo artist would be better off with a conventional instrument.
Unless I am missing something!
Forget it.

You guys are forgetting the nostalgia element.

Middle agers and seniors may have learned on one when younger.

And since the Omnichord is an electrification of the autoharp, there are hundreds of thousands who grew up listening to them in country music songs.

The layout is a lot less intimidating for a beginner learning chords who wants to learn a traditional stringed instrument.

A friend of mine's grandfather growing up had one.

 

[Biggles]

Nope!

And they are still around today
