"For example, instead of an air pipe to allow smooth pouring, there's a separate cap which has to be unscrewed, and then the cap is inevitably lost."
Unfortunately, the propensity to lose the cap IS the design feature - you will likely want to buy another container.
Edward Bernais effectively re-engineered engineering. What is the point of creating something great that works for years? Far better to get people to splash out more often for an inferior item, that is sold in a better way.
