You said it yourself - there are plenty of off-brand options that are far more affordable and easier to obtain that would result in the same fix. So it's insane to me Apple would charge a $1200 deposit and ship shit in pelican cases. They're being willfully obtuse, and it's obvious.

To be fair, it shouldn't be Apple's responsibility to advertise third-party options that they have no way of testing or assuring the quality of.
