I was surprised by their choice of current-limiting resistors for the LEDs (instead of constant current driver) but I guess their goal was to keep the hardware As Simple As Possible

Even commercial designs will cost-optimise. There's no need for extra complexity if it costs more and has lower reliability, unless they're going for planned obsolescence.

  The issue is, if you use current limiting resistors, the color rendering index and the absolute brightness are highly variable. That seems like it would matter a bunch.
