Totally agree. These sorts of marketing games have been around since time immemorial. My first car, a brand new 1962 mini, what a POS. But gave me many opportunities to learn about car and engine design....
Same with my C8, cheap as chips to buy used, and still gives a newbie like me many opportunities to learn the ins and outs of AP.
As to the "goop" solution they used to minimise mirror slop...may they rot in hell.
