EE take: This is just a rework of an early spin with flaws discovered late in the design[1]. Anyone shocked probably never looked at electronics before. Iv seen $xxK precision instruments with more egregious bodges. Could it look better? maybe. Would it make a difference to the operation of the device: nope.

[1] added caps for stability, most likely manifests under rare load scenarios.

TLDR: Meh, at least its not shoe rubber shim pushing on a GPU voltage regulator in your 2013 15 MBP - yes, Apple did this instead of resoldering chips.
