It definitely already is and some people will literally buy huge gas sucking trucks that they don't need just to stick it to the libs or whatever

Not deadly, just displacement-y. It dumps you into the Astral Plane in your physical form but deals no damage.
Now the effects of the Astral Plane on an unprepared non-spellcaster can be pretty deadly. But that isn't the boom's fault.
And everyone who is tasked with fixing your constantly crashing shit doesn't like that, because it gives precisely zero actionable information with which to prevent future crashes. I may as well pull out my tarot deck to diagnose your problem. It's worse than useless, it's actively insulting.
Getting good quality cables can make a difference.
Getting gold-plated cables will not ever. I fucking see you Monster. For $40 a cable that thing better also come with a free handy and an ice cream.

Counterpoint, all it takes is one person to die in the car because the car disabled itself on them while trying to get to a hospital, and suddenly hungry lawyers are swooping in all over your entire company.
I imagine the manufacturer will have some excuse about "if it was an emergency they should have called an ambulance" and I also imagine that won't stand up to a stiff breeze in court.
That's great until two years from now when all parts for that model year will stop being manufactured. If you're lucky, newer models of the same car share a part number. If you're not, the first time you need a new belt tensioner or torque strut you're buying a new car. I drive an 05 Civic and I can usually still find parts for it only because it's one of the most popular models to exist in America. My partner drives a similar year Suzuki and it's now actually impossible to repair over half of that car because of parts unavailability. Old cars are great until they need to be fixed.
I'm not really arguing in favor of buying a "new" car especially because you wouldn't catch me dead in anything more recent than a 2015. But there are some considerations to be taken into account when you're buying a car old enough to have its own drivers license. More considerations, when it's old enough to have its own license that would have already expired.
The Ricky Bobby school of RPGs. If you ain't first, you're last.
Menu key serves a purpose when you need to access a context menu without a mouse to right click with.
Granted, I've needed that maybe a grand total of three times over the course of nearly three decades of computer use. But I don't know how you access that menu otherwise. It's a nice bit of redundancy from a company that doesn't often think of that.
Cosmoteer kicks ass
Build quality does matter though. Especially for a cable that will be plugged in and out frequently.
That was kind of my point with the gold plated cables though; the ads for them will act like they're better in some way and that you'll get ultra high speed super definition picture or whatever. But it's the same damn spec as the Amazon Basics cable.
