I suggest you read the FAQs and Pocket Manifesto. It's not a purely economic proposition. Not all cryptos are PoW. And, like compound interest, things accrue over time. Lastly, it depends on your future view of where crypto is going versus the US dollar. In some ways the Pocket Miner can be thought of as a device for converting US dollars to crypto in a friendly way; do that conversion now (and over time) and perhaps benefit later? It depends on your view of where crypto is going.

I read the FAQ and Pocket Manifesto. It provides zero information on the maximum hashrate of your device on various PoW systems. So the user has no idea whether, given current blockchain hashrates and coin prices, they can expect to make $0.01 per day or $0.00001 per day. Do you have any idea? What is the expected mining time to make 1 satoshi?

Perhaps you could state that the user can only expect to make back a small fraction of the $169 cost in a lifetime of mining, and that its primary purpose is instead that of a functional piece of art, which I think it is.

Unfortunately it cannot mine with the PoW I created [1], or I might be tempted to buy one.
