Something no one discusses is this is part of the death of brick and mortar retail.
In the 70s you'd go to a warehouse-superstore for electronics lit by incandescent bulbs or maybe old school buzzy flicker fluorescents and it was DARK as electricity cost money.
By the turn of the century its all palaces of consumerism bright lit with modern florescent bulbs.
Now a days the remaining electronics stores sometimes have bright as heck LED illumination.
The stores are more brightly lit than most homes; a device bright enough to stand out on a showroom floor as the bright one will be blinding in an average home.
As brick and mortar retail dies out, somewhat more sane levels of illumination will be acceptable in products. Even now, its already getting to the point that nobody cares about the stylish box if amazon is going to deliver it anyway.
