Why? You could still buy the real thing. This would not detract anything from your user experience.

What I don't want to see is an ecosystem of shitty accessories and software, like the fragmentation of the Android ecosystem or the race-to-the-bottom of the Wintel world. It means developers have to develop against a bunch of incompatible devices with vastly different specs and chipsets, rush things to market without thorough testing, and stop supporting them soon after release. I've had that experience with all the Wintel laptops I've had, along with all the pre-Nexus/Pixel Androids, and basically every Wifi router and Bluetooth dongle I've ever owned.

The world is overflowing with cheap, crappy electronics and fake reviews. It's nice to have a curated selection sometimes.
