In this case penultimate is used to describe something that is nearly perfect. As if to say, there is little room for improvement.

Penultimate means “next to last”, and that’s it.

Sybian doesn’t do everything it could do i didn’t to call it the ultimate. I wanted to show for what comes next. Maybe I’m doing and there isn’t, but a sybian that can view your reactions and learn each users unique preferences would be an improvement
A sybian as the hips of a sex robot maybe? Like its fine, but its just a box , you get on to get off and then it is done with you. Theres no after care or anything else.
I guess a portable discreet version will require entirely new components that we probably cant manufacture yet, or are cost prohibited.
I dunno what the ultimate is, so penultimate seems a good choice to use if i can see improvements to it that dont yet exist
