Isn't there a standard flag which programs can implement to avoid writing this bash script? Ideally this could all be part of a library such as argparse for typical cases, right?

I am surprised they can break even with such a product. Considering 25% of the cost go to selling/fulfillment/etc., maybe 8 Pounds for the BOM (?) they might earn 3-4 Pounds per item sold. To offset the cost of development (maybe
