You might have a point IF there were mass reports of nintendo switches arriving with cracked screens etc. but there arent, so nintendo isnt just shipping shit randomly like the first group of manufacturers you mention, and other than this particular incident where its clearly user error, i havent seen anyone else complain about the condition they got their switch 2 in. So in that case, is nintendo more like the first group of manufacturers you mention or more like honda?

The point stands, that if Nintendo, or any other electronics manufacturer, puts a screen directly against surface cardboard, they're incompetent and greedy. A simply cardboard insert to put space between the screen and outside cardboard is pennies, perhaps less than a penny, per box. At some level, I agree with you, that the manufacturer can't design their packaging to protect against everything, but...

This is how companies manipulate people into defending their greed, and you've fallen in the trap. Degradation of merit and quality has been accelerating due to rampant greed for decades, and here you are, defending it, by taking an isolated case of plausible deniability on a seller, and completely missing the forest for the trees. These companies are not worth defending. They absolutely deserve to be shamed for their penny pinching and greed.

On the course you're arguing for, we're going to keep seeing this degradation of merit and quality.

You, apparently, have not bought any handheld electronic devices since the early 2000s.

Another person actively defending the penny pinching and greed of manufacturers.

Evil people, greedy people, malignant people, don't get you from point A to point Z all in one go. They move you, step by step, to where they want you to go. They normalize and propagandize the virtues of B, while demonizing A. When people accept B as normal, they do the same thing to C, and then to D, and so on, until they get you to the end point. Through normalization and propaganda, they actually get the people they're subverting and hurting to actively defend what's happening.

Just because something has become normalized, does not make it right. Are you seriously trying to argue that the modern world is fine, because a majority might support it? Do you think a company's greed is fine, if all the other companies started practicing the same type of greed?

Is KiA2 not supposed to be more discerning of this type of behavior from companies?
