This is a cheap version, but if you have someone that is starting to garden more and grow from seed this might be an entry point. This product is only good for seed starting, you don't transplant into those soil blocks.
For all the people asking why not reuse plastic cups. Two reasons, first, after you plant a seed you need to transplant that seedling into the garden, if you make soil blocks you can pop them right into the ground and not disturb the root zone. They also dry out more uniformly so you don't overwater seeds and seedlings. 2, if you are planting hundreds of seeds, then having hundreds of crunched up solo cups after you take the seedlings out for transplant isn't exactly sustainable, also 200 or more solo cups is probably going to have a cost similar to this both in price and plastic used I'd imagine, so no need to be on a high horse about cost and waste.
I saw one snarky comment about this being for people trying to avoid getting dirty. That person has obviously never used these or understands how they work. You get soil to field capacity(wet but not muddy) and you have to press it into the machine with your hand, this is way messier than plastic cups. You can however, churn out like 200 seed starters if you sit down for a half hour. So for someone like me planting enough seeds to feed me and my family for 6 months a year every spring, I have a metal version of this tool that can do 16 blocks at once that helps save time and wasted plastic. If I didn't have a better one already I'd have tried this first to see if I liked the style for seed starting.
Normally don't comment, but I'm flabbergasted by the comments on this product that are clearly from people that don't grow plants having some strong feelings on a product they don't understand.
TLDR; this is a cheap version of a useful tool for seed starting, if you don't have one this might be good for testing out the method, but if you like it and garden a lot you'll have to upgrade. Also, don't read comments from non gardeners, apparently seeing something they have never seen before has upset their simple minds.

I really have no idea why it exists
I guess the idea is that you don't spend money or waste environmental resources on pots but you could just...reuse pots...? You could also just use a cup as you stated though I guess this makes more sturdy piles of soil. Honestly, why not just use hydroponics for seed starting to avoid the issue altogether? Or maybe they're for westcoasters with water limits.
HOMIES JUST REUSE POTS, EGGSHELLS, EGG CARTONS, ETC This is a first-world product for dainty Nancys and I will not be convinced otherwise. No non-firstworld country uses these, no professional agriculturalist or botanist uses these.
I can then have something unique for Christmas.
