Because Valenti was never part of the conversation.
I really respect and look up to speedfactory, modbargains and all the big players but even some of the suppliers have been coned from the manufacturer that they are official valenti lights when they are not. Helix is actually starting to brand the red lens as their own now which is what should have been done in the first place.
There are only a few certified valenti resellers that sell products directly sourced from Valenti in japan and the rest source from the manufacturer and get them cheaper hence the price differences. The easiest way to tell if its come from directly from Valenti in Japan is it will have the sticker on the back, like the Toms do.
I only bring this all up because each post like this gives them a bad rep when really they have nothing to do with it and I dont blame you for bringing it up cause it sucks what happened. Valenti have already posted before about them not being an official product but everyone skimmed past it. They honestly cant be bothered fighting back and instead want to focus on their new model coming in Jan.
