Re-using this sort of device is super cool. I can imagine a post-apocalyptic scenario where a city is run on a hodgepodge of random computing devices like this.

I will say, though, disposable vapes with microcontrollers inside (and even full games and screens from recent reporting) are an egregious source of e-waste. Many layers of stupid are present here.

The fact that selling such a thing is profitable means that we lack regulations somewhere.

I think we need a regulation about trash. To be allowed to sell products containing things like electronic or plastics companies should be forced to collect x amount of this kind of trash.
