Wow, these preassembled ESP32 plus touchscreen boards are extremely cheap, and there are tons of them in all kinds of different form factors on Amazon. I didn't realize this kind of thing was so plentiful, this seems like a great way to bootstrap many kinds of electronics/IoT projects

Yeah ESP32 is an awesome rabbit hole. An esp32-c6, cheap yellow display, and a 3d printer and you can build some really interesting things.

Any commercial products using ESP?

Just look for ESP32 CYD - CYD stands for cheap yellow display. There are a lot of variants.

Here’s a list of just a few. They’re insanely popular not only because they’re just good to use, but also because they’re one of the cheaper FCC approved modules you can buy, which takes a lot of the pain out of bringing a product to market.

A lot of Shelly devices use ESP chips: https://www.shelly.com/ - And they are hackable!

I think there are plenty using espressif chips. One of my robot vacuums (possibly the Neato?) certainly appeared to be.

AFAIK my humidifier uses an ESP32 chip.

Yes, many. As a random example, see: https://www.servethehome.com/ubiquiti-flex-mini-2-5g-review-...

The last image on the page shows various chips in the switch, the top left is an ESP32.
