Oh no, a mass produced product with some assembly flaws on the first run? It's the end of the world!

Right, because it's not like the article explains why this is the wrong mindset.

Consumers expect rigorous testing and validation when paying top money for a premium top-of-the-line motherboard.

Oh, wait...

Just Gigabyte things.... 🙄
They have had on-going 'systemic' issues, as indicated by these kinds of blatant oversights.

-My GB 7900 GRE arrived sealed new in box w/ missing and loose screws.
-GB PSUs were firecrackers for awhile
-My Friend's GB B650 is easily the most 'finnicky' and 'inconsistent' (factory firmware) motherboard I've ever worked with.
-GB's entry-level motherboards have had on/off history of VRM self-immolation
-In my experience, GB is very RMA denial happy. (Though, that's been supplanted by Asus' shenanigans, in recent times.)

I'm seriously waiting for the North American market to wakeTFup to GB and the rest of The Industry's extremely lacking quality standards.

Too true, I stopped buying Gigabyte in the early 2000’s when the first mobo I purchased with my hard earned money, during the athlon xp era, kept on frying the bios chip. I had it RMA’ed 4 times, the first 3 were full mobo replacements, then the 4th, Gigabyte gave up and sent me 10 raw bios chips (back when the bios chip was press fit into its unique socket somewhere on the mobo) and that lasted me a couple years until I moved on to athlon 64 cpu series.
Turns out that particular mobo model had faulty pcb wiring that would produce random transient voltage spikes that jumped into an adjacent bios chip signal wire.
Honestly, I give Gigabyte props for sending me 3 additional motherboards (I actually still have them in my closet lol) and them sending me 10 bios chips was more helpful than replacing the mobo altogether, so can’t really talk bad about their RMA policy at the time, but I can talk bad about their decision to keep selling the mobo and eating the RMA cost instead of revising the PCB layout. I don’t support companies that knowingly sell faulty products.

I've had 3 recent Aorus Master series MBs (x670e, z690, x870e), and they have been really solid. My only complaint is i felt like RAM on the x670e should have overclocked better.

Generally I would give the manufacture the benefit of the and expect them to take care of early adopters and fix the problems on future production. However for an over $1000 board GET IT RIGHT before you release it...
