My $200, 6 year old stand came with one too, and it even includes the ability to raise and lower the screen, plus the 90° rotation. And wait, there’s more! It also pivots.
Underwhelming indeed.

My Dell P2715Q also came with its own stand, and it is sufficient for me.
But if you are using a six year old, $200 monitor you're not the market for a display like this.
Counterbalanced, Humanscale stands go for $400+ Nice equipment is expensive--it is the whole point of this release.
Granted, it's not nearly as nice as Apple's stand. But I suspect the reception would have been a lot better if the narrative was "the $5000 screen comes with an ok stand, the great one is $1000 extra" instead of "lol, the $5000 screen is useless unless you buy a $120 Vesa mount plus some off-brand stand, or the $1000 official stand"
