people shop for cheap deals > the market is designed to cater for cheap deals (like the no USB cable thing) > people shop for cheap deals > and so on…

Don’t get me started on the cost of ink (why buy ink when you can just buy another printer for roughly the same price?)

Fortunately businesses require cheap stuff too. You can get “Small business” printers for a reasonable cost. They aren’t very aesthetically pleasing, but they are reliable.
