Sorry, I overreacted and I do get what you're saying... they absolutely should have supported cd-r since it was standard at the time.
I just don't think that standards should be legally enforced necessarily (except for some safety standards). It is the responsibility of the consumer to check that the product is what he thinks it is (this, btw, is one of the beauties of the Internet) and of course a few customers out there will get burned, but that's much more efficient than appointed officials deciding arbitrarily what shall be "standard" and what shall not be. Standards show up in the first place because of the buying choices of you, me, and the next person.
But now I'm spouting off on an off-topic, irrelevant rant 😊
