Actually they did not succesfully relight the engines in space as planned, but they intentionally skipped the test due to vehicle conditions as opposed to it failing
Maybe so, but ease of use is crucial to get regular people to start using private and local alternatives. As long as something like Amazon Echo or Google Home are the only things on the shelf, people that aren't actively looking for an alternative will never find it.
The OS is the worst part of the Quest line. The hardware is pretty cool but software completely removes it from consideration for me.
Can also tilt your device/screen and get the same effect
Security through obscurity is not something that should be relied upon anyway. This just necessitates fixes to be implemented faster.

Just restarting also works
They're not doing a very good job
Pulling carbon out of the air instead of addressing pollution at the source is not like continuously mopping up blood instead of treating the wound? To me the parallels are almost exact.
They attempted to relight the booster, but only 1 of the 13 engines they wanted on actually started (2 others almost started but immediately failed). Their hope was to demonstrate in-space relight of the second stage engines, which is obviously a crucial demonstration for HLS and eventually going to the moon, but they never went for it. So far they have never demonstrated Raptor start in a vacuum and microgravity, which is a significantly different challenge to firing on the ground or even during re-entry as was the case for the booster due to propellant slosh and ullage considerations. In fact, we have seen them struggle with these issues in the earlier Starship solo tests, where the engines upon relight would eat backfill helium and eventually switch over to an engine-rich cycle :D. I'm sure they will figure it out but in space Raptor relights are far from the 'same' as what they have already done.
