It can't be both things.
It can't be both an evil genius super plot to shut down the world's local markets and siphon profits away to Silicon Valley (TM) and also the stupidest idea on earth because vending machines already exist and therefore nobody would ever want this.
Dense residential cities have no need for this, they have 24-hour stores on every street corner or delivery services that run all night. This can succeed in small-to-mid college campuses which don't have all night markets (these are the majority of college campuses in North America) and don't have easy or convenient access to a CVS, Store24, WalMart, or any of the other stores that have already put your independently owned corner store out of business in those towns. I went to a relatively small school which was in a city but about 2 miles from a convenience store without public transportation or anything like that, and walking to that store wasn't really an option late at night. This was 10+ years ago so delivery services like Foodler or Uber Eats or w/e didn't exist. Your food options after 10PM was to order delivery from Dominos, and if you didn't want cardboard pizza and cheese bread but rather toilet paper, a box of cookies, or any other thing that any drunk ass high college student wanted, you were either out of luck or had to use the dorm vending machine which had like... Pop tarts and candy bars.
Something like this would have worked really well for a college campus. It could also work well in low-priced hotels in small-to-mid size cities where you don't have a 24 hour corner store open within walking distance. Like colleges, this describes the overwhelming majority of cities in North America, and just like how hotels have had mini bars for half a century, this appeals to business travelers, people making short stays, and other people who get to the hotel late at night and everything else is closed around them. It could also work really well in office parks, a lot of which have something similar.
The concept is fairly similar to RedBox, which unsurprisingly, launched as a similar business in 2002. The original pitch for RedBox was a vending machine that sold things like milk, eggs, sandwiches, and had DVD rentals. They quickly shelved the milk, eggs, and sandwiches, and focused on DVDs. When RedBox launched, they were competing against Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, local stores that had video rentals. Eventually, other services (On demand video, Netflix, the internet, etc) put Blockbuster out of business, but RedBox paradoxically grew in areas that were underserved by Netflix or OnDemand... like college campuses, small cities, and places where Netflix or Amazon VOD didn't have penetration but, but lacked convenient video store rentals. RedBox is probably on its way out in a decade or so, but it still has surprising market penetration. Likewise, Amazon Fresh or other food delivery services would probably put somethign like this out of business, but it could still succeed in places where you wouldn't normally get food delivery, college campuses, near hotels, and so on.
That this thing is called 'Bodega' is fucking stupid, but that's clueless Silicon Valley pitch marketing for you.
