I really ought to know better than to wade into this, so I will only be making this one comment and hitting the ignore button for the entire thread...
As a gunsmith, the first time a customer brings you a budget (insert brand and type here) accessory and asks if you can fix it because the plastic latch to the battery compartment snapped off, you just start shaking your head. No brand shaming here, but that problem has walked into my shop several times. The first time the broken bubblegum accessory was on a (at that time) $1400 Daniel Defense AR.
There is budget. And then there is bubblegum. If we are no longer allowed to say certain items are bubblegum, then we are doing a disservice to new shooters.
But hey, what do I know? I'm just some small town gunsmith. Not an "operator" like all them guys on the internets...
