But you pay for that crap, so it should either work or should not
be there at all. (IOW, I find it strange that people are used to
pay even moderate money for something that's mostly useless, because
even when it does work it's of such poor quality that they don't
even try to use it.)

The board could have been somewhat cheaper without the parts that
are of poor quality.
