This comes off more like name calling than dialog to me. Personally I drive an old Toyota Corolla that is about as close to the base model as one could get (windows doors and transmission are manual). There is nothing extraneous in that machine as far as I can tell. I know perfectly well that my car is the cheap model and I would need to pay extra for some automatic windows, but I would be annoyed if I had a dead switch on the side that does nothing. From the article it sounds like the manufacturer removed the hardware but left the button and didn’t do a great job patching the gap with good UX. This is just bad UX design and people have a right to be annoyed about these kinds of things.
