I'm talking about the absurdity of expecting explicitly-disclaimed benefits to just rain from the sky because you bought something. It's cheap because they waive these responsibilities, it would be/is more expensive to have them not waived, that's just how it is. There are also a few manufacturers of smartphones who guarantee against this sort of thing. Also, the only way to maximize profits is to satisfy the customer: they offer the devices at a consumer price which is enticing to a mass market who may or may not have these issues, rather than expecting everyone to have these issues all the time, and pricing it to accommodate that. This is exactly what consumers want, cheap phones that at least typically do what is expected of them.
