Have you not noticed that it seems to be coming back in style? I have a transparent case on my steam deck. I’ve seen the same mods for other consoles. I’ve seen transparent battery packs and transparent controllers for sale recently. Also didn’t a company just release a transparent phone a couple months ago?
The most egregious action I’ve seen was from a Vizio smart TV I bought several years ago. It shipped with a simple remote control, and a tablet with a control app preinstalled. One day I turned the TV on and was notified that in order to use the updated UI I would need to reach out to support to order (and pay for!) a new remote that had additional buttons.
