Do you have a discernible point? Young (and old) people have access to the internet to get informed on things like this.

I'm not sure what your point is here.

Sure, the internet exists. Sure, you'll find non-apple accessories.

What you'll also find are horror stories about cheaply made bits and information from Apple stating that you need to use approved accessories lest you void your warranty and/or ruin your device. Even though you'll find positive stuff, you'll be left with "ruin my device or use an apple product".
