I agree with you on the second point. They're always lying about their little schemes to squeeze more pennies out of a quarter, and think that people believe them. I'd honestly respect a company more if they just came out and said "we shortened cords to make more money. Get fucked, peasants."

For real. Look at Snapple and their "improved" plastic bottles.

I've bought two small kitchen appliances recently...a cheap-ass griddle, and a real nice air fryer/double oven. Both gave the same excuse for their short cords.
