If something is broken, it's probably clearly broken. That just wastes someone's time later down the line, I guess. But the relabeled RAM is fucked. That is just going to end up in some other end user's hands and give them a diagnostic nightmare along with, most likely misattributed hate towards ebay or whatever resale method moves that stick from Amazon scraps to the end user's build.
So no, I cannot agree this is some harmless fuck-you to corporate overlords. This will eventually fuck over someone innocent.
