Can you ELI5 how does this negatively affect the consumer and why should the consumer prefer the 'bad looking' choke option?

  Ferrite chokes are large and heavy. They're also not free. So the product costs more, weighs more and gets bigger.

    Sounds like I'm with Steve on this one.

      Yeah. Who needs a usable RF spectrum when iphone has interwebs?

  Not only does the device feed high-frequency signals into your power wiring, it can get noise from it like motors turning on or off and spiking the voltage. It's only a problem if it's a problem. If they'd done proper filtering inside the device maybe it's ok.
