To me it looks like they saved quite a lot of engineering effort, and the price was lockin. Seems like it was probably a fair trade for them.

At least if it's sane and well thought out it can be taken back apart and repurposed for something different. There will be cost. Consider it paying back the loan. That's why it's called technical debt. The terms of the debt looks good to me.
