There are multiple intangible benefits... you also arguably have a higher quality of life as you are wearing comfortable wool socks that breath better vs cheap poly blend socks.
The socks are also made by workers making a living wage in Vermont vs a sweatshop in China.

They do and add a lot of moisture to the air. The carbon monoxide could be a real issue if used in a small environment with little fresh air, like a bedroom in a modern home. Ok in a garage which probably isn’t super tight and you probably aren’t sleeping next to it.

Canister S2121 Capri. It was one of the cheapest Miele’s 10 years ago when we got it. Looks identical to the current C1

Had a canister version long ago. Kept it going for 6 or 7 years but it had a heavy amount of plastic and fiberglass repair epoxy on it by the end. Have a V6 cordless handheld now and it works well, but battery didn’t last a year and the plastic canister broke the first week. They just use a very brittle plastic compared to my Miele. Dyson is also constantly changing their over complicated designs while Miele has a tried and true simple clamshell that has been refined for generations.

Robot vacuums are great for hard surfaces but have barely any suction and aren't great for any kind of carpet.

Have made the poor choice of buying multiple Dyson's... plastics are super brittle and was constantly buying replacement parts for both. My Miele has been dropped down the stairs and works great after 10 years.

100%. Breaths much better, which despite it not being as soft, contributes to better sleep.

Indeed…. Thread count is a gimmick and high thread count typically translates to thin threads. Feels silky, but doesn’t breath and wears out fast. My favorite sheets are linen. Not the softest and super low thread count but they are super breathable due to the low thread count and linens ability to wick moisture from your body. Allows your body to regulate temps much better in both hot and cold weather. Never going back.

No. Dyson plastic is super brittle.
