That alone throws half the customer base into a frustrating situation, incurring a knock-on $30 expense.
Even Roku doesn't offer this courtesy, although they do upsell an inexpensive cable during checkout.

I can get a higher quality cable for cheaper than they would charge to pack it in, plus electronics retailers have an incentive to stock it at shitty margins for the upsell opportunity on the cable. Everyone wins, except lazy or ignorant consumers, and they always lose so who cares.
