These cheaper components are perfectly fine for a lot of people's needs. For example many companies buy display panels that failed to meet quality controls at Samsung or LG and package and sell them under their own brands at very steep discounts. Far from being unusable, they usually have minor quality differences like a worse bezel/stand, 5 allowable dead pixels instead of 3, or slightly more backlight bleed. If you can live with that, they are pretty great options to consider. Adding nonsense like advertising and sale of personal data completely kills that upside though.
