They succeed only because they have high "wife approval factor", are tops when it comes to advertising, and are easy to put together.
I'll take good sound over all the above any day.

Some Bose speakers have a frequency response hole between the crossover of the mid-range driver and the woofer too; in other words, they are incapable of reproducing some of the lower-middle frequencies you have in your music. Not surprising coming from a company that spends more on marketing than R&D; but those marketing dollars have been well spent in convincing Joe Average that Bose is a quality speaker manufacturer.
And, FWIW, even if there are physical limits to what little speakers can do, there are many other "lifestyle" speakers that look better and produce a far superior sound, probably for a lot less money.
