Why does it need to be a new separate physical device, instead of just software installed on an old phone or laptop?


Because nobody outside of HN is going to install software on an old phone or laptop. But they'll buy a $30 Box.

By all means the software will be open-source (and mostly off-the-shelf if possible) so anyone can install it on whatever device they have, but the killer product will be the Box.
