Why do McIntosh come with cheap plastic remotes?


Any comments as to why Macs come with el-chepo remotes?
Somehow this just doesn't fit with the notion of elegant and robust gear.

I'm on the fence on this one.
Part of me says quality gear should come with a quality remote.
But the other part appreciates the option to save the money, especially if one is planning to use a universal remote.
My Modwright came with a cheap and cheesy remote. The metal one was a $200 option that I passed on.
They bumped the price up $500 last summer but it now comes with the metal remote standard.
