So then you'd have to use a calculator you've never used before during a high stakes exam? Doesn't sound good to me.

Not necessarily, presumably students would own the same version and use it during the year, but would have to use the school-owned ones for exams.

If the calculators are cheap and standard, the tool is not much different from a pencil. If yours doesn't work you can ask for a replacement.
