It's crazy. I could maybe understand if there's a time crunch where it's quicker and easier to get more hardware in order to make a sale that'll keep the company alive (which I have experienced once) but that's maybe 1% of the cases.

Anyway, in lieu of their gratitude, I offer my thanks because I appreciate the effort.
