Have you looked at a Juicero teardown [0]? It's overengineered to the point where it's a genuinely astonishing bit of engineering art. It's also an incredibly stupid product. Those things are completely compatible.
AvE’s Juicero teardown is also a classic:
Idk, it looks like most of what this person is complaining is that they don't see a lot of this in high volume consumer products. But like, most high volume comsumer products don't have to crank nearly the same amount of torque either.
It's a silly product, but as far as being over engineered, it looks like it's about what I'd expect for those requirements.
