I agree that this is shady marketing. However, like I said, there are superior solutions available for these content/media producers. Am I supposed to feel bad for them not optimising a tool that is apparently critical for their throughput and suffering mediocrity as a result? There's an information asymmetry here and if they don't put the effort in to squeeze extra performance out of their equipment then either: A) Someone who is putting this minimal effort into actually choosing the best tool for their job will usurp them with greater productivity. B) Render times really aren't a bottleneck compared to the struggle of coming up with content ideas/filming the actual content -- slightly longer running tasks while people slack off and drink coffee are just fine. I suspect it's actually the latter hence this is really a non-issue.
