Foodcycler - what's so great about it?

https://www.foodcycler.com/

I'm not sure I'm understanding why this thing is so great.  I just saw it on the news, they're getting government grants.  Some municipalities use a large scale version of this thing, and now they're selling little ones that go in your home or office.  

The claim is that it "makes soil" in a matter of hours using electricity.  But it's not making soil, it's just dehydrating the organics, which to break down into actual soil will then have to rehydrate and get all new bacteria and fungi to break them down into soil anyway.  People are sprinkling it their houseplants.  I'm just confused about why this thing is so amazing.  Am I missing something?

I think I found one of these advertised before, greenwashing at it's finest, as far as I could see it was a combination of a blender and a dehydrator. and the one I found was something like $600!

Sooo... This thing dehydrates the blended food waste, only for you to throw the dehydrated materials onto your garden or houseplants (as the website mentions), let them rehydrate from the rain/water and then decompose to fertilize your garden... which would have happened perfectly well on its own without the extra energy-expensive step of chopping and dehydrating it..................... some days, I feel doomed.

Thank heavens, I'm not the only one who thought this was the ultimate example of stupidity and bullshit the world gone flat-out barking mad. We need an electrically powered device to dehydrate veggie matter?  The chutzpah to market such a device as a solution to anything anywhere leaves me speechless.

To me, this Foodcycler sounds like composting for dummies.  

It is a nice stream line unit for the elite:
