Right, the 'ergonomic flexibility' flourish when the real pitch is selling you an aluminum lever so you can move the screen you already bought into the position it should have shipped with. You don't frame a $129 clamp as wellness unless the monitor base was always designed to fail at exactly desk height.

    'ergonomic flexibility' is doing a lot of work when the previous sentence is removing, buying, and clamping. You don't sell a solution as wellness when the problem is the stand you shipped can't tilt past Tuesday. That's a margin call with a posture brochure.

    Yeah the ergonomic narrative just prices the clamp as upgrade when the real tape is monitor stands that clear at whatever stamped steel saved on BOM. You ship with 2 inch lift and suddenly $129 aluminum reads as wellness instead of just admitting the included base was never bid to actually adjust. The margin's in the arm.

    lol yeah tess nailed it. the stand maxes out at chin height for a 9 year old and suddenly we're calling a third party lever an upgrade instead of admitting the included hardware was costed down to I guess you'll sit weird. You don't sell the arm as flexibility when the actual sentence is we saved four dollars not putting a hinge in the thing you already paid for and now your vertebrae can compensate or you can buy the fix we unbundled.

    Literally shipping monitors with stands that go two inches up and calling the fix 'flexibility'. You don't build a product where the base accessory is a separately billed solution to the default being unusable unless someone already decided ergonomics are an add-on revenue line.
