Seems like a cool idea and likely better than CO2 cartridges.

Anyone with experience?

Fits in a bottle cage? Just get a team car. Better yet, an old fashoned but very functional frame pump.

Not interested in this contraption.

It dosent. Saves you from having to drag this air tank thing around though.

I cant wrap my head around why anyone would want to carry more stuff on a ride. Dosent make sense to me. Then Again, I dont ride with a computer and rarely a cell phone so........

I would not carry this on all rides but CO2 ain’t the best, I’m not into frame pumps and this looks to be in the same size/weight range so if I’m off on a ride, by myself, somewhere that I don’t have all the support infrastructure it might make sense, provided it works as advertised.

I’m guessing those tires are not as good as they say

Those tires are garbage.

I do the pump because its easy, I dont have to refill or recharge or anything. It also dosent seem to run out.

I don't think this product is aimed at you, and not at me, either. It's intended users are mentioned on the linked SKS web page:

"This simple and environmentally friendly solution can be safely transported in the bottle cage, making it ideal for all E-bikers and comfort fans."

For those users, who ride primarily for transportation and recreation, and not for performance and adventure, this product probably makes sense.

Also says it will seat tubeless.

Best damn carry pump I've ever used. Came in handy at L'Eroica Gaiole, where I used it to help out with flats...twice! Fills up a tire fast. Can be used as a weapon, I guess, if needed.
