It would be great to see such machines but I doubt any company will start manufacturing them anytime soon because of the small number of customers using bitcoin. Besides, the lightning network is still under development (testing stages) and using it requires some technical knowledge.

Agreed, it requires good technical knowledge as well as the capital funding. Already there were more Bitcoin ATM around the globe for usage, but as it didn't yield expected revenue more ATMs were taken back by the company itself. Now with this new vending machine we'll get faster access, but the limited number of users will not benefit the company. Maybe as a Service one can start expecting good profit in the future as more and more people are getting aware of cryptocurrencies.
