I figured you were going that way.
There is a difference between taking cues from products that work (and even copying some facets of them) and straight up photocopying a product (or copying
all facets of them to be in-line with the previous wording). Rota, SPD's turbo kit, and companies like that do no innovation or unique design of their products. It is literally "that is a exactly like Product X by Company Y, but it is cheaper," which is why people buy them.
But again, I didn't come to convince people that hold a different viewpoint - just to present the information. People will stick to whatever convictions they tell themselves to justify purchasing that and I try my best not to judge them for doing so
