I don't see how I could have been much more specific given the two things you quoted from me. Let's turn it around: what QKD products do you think are not snake oil today? Please be specific (list products currently on sale) and back up the assertion with a rationale, remembering that this is in comparison to classical cryptography technology. Feel free to also point to literature about QKD technologies perhaps not yet on the market but which might change everything, and again, back up your assertions.
