Why are the HP Prime and HP-35s so unpopular?

True! And for a low-cost consumer product like this, it would be a poor corporate decision.

Let's say, for example purposes, that HP felt an ethical need to compensate users of this calculator due to bugs and issues... The cheapest way to accomplish this would be to just let folks submit a form for a 100% rebate based on their serial number (which has its own issues). No return of the calculator needed, or desired, since that would cost even more! Just give them their money back and be done.

Of course the reputation hit in this example would be 1000x the current level of frustration for users. It just doesn't make sense to do this. Hence why it's never happened, and never will.

(IMHO)
