Probably cheap as dirt.
Entertains very small kids who are statistically going to be the loudest, most impatient ones.
Engaging for those small kids neurodevelopmentally.
Hard to damage.
Not ingestible; hard to otherwise hurt yourself or others with it.
Can put it basically wherever and even screw it down onto a table.
Too big for someone (especially a kid) to steal.
Very quiet even if you're playing very aggressively with it.
Cross-cultural (e.g. no language involved).
Not consumable like crayons.

It's got too many things going for it.

Additionally these aren’t likely to break within the week, unlike most children’s toys I’ve bought in the past couple of years
