I think that they don’t need to know or research or ask about other brands is the point. It’s like you know that Monster Cables will be sufficient. That said why would such a person want a mechanical keyboard but not want to out in the effort to learn about them? I’m guessing it’s for dabblers or people who’ve heard of mechanical keyboards and it’s more an impulse buy than an investment. (I’ve tuned my own springs by finger so that’s where I stand personally)

In my case, for the G710+ case especially, I did my research, understood what I want, did additional research and pulled the trigger. Being happy with what I've ended with, I didn't dive deeper into that rabbit hole, because I have more important things to do than tweaking keyboards. I'm like that. Do my research, pull the trigger once, consider the problem solved and move on. Having many hats and ambitions limits one's time considerably. I for one only have tonight to be at home at dinner time, incl the weekend. Sorry for not being able to live up to your standards in the mechanical keyboard realm, however being a sysadmin and programmer, I think I can want a dependable and semi-decent mechanical keyboard. Considering I've grown up with some of them. If you permit, of course.

  You are not the target market. There are not enough people like you to justify a product. If you like the keyboard great, but who is their target? People who have heard of “mechanical = good” and know the Logitech brand. It’s just a weird niche compared to many more people who come into mechanical keyboards from the hobbyist tinkerer side of things.

I bet this category easily outnumbers all massdrop hypebeasts or Cherry switch sommeliers out there. In the same way that middle-upper class men who want a nice pair of headphones, vaguely remember that "high impedance = good" and know the Sennheiser brand easily outnumber audiophiles.
