Yea, that's ugly. I'm sure it could've been done more gracefully with 15 minutes more effort. But judging from the general wear and tear on this poor Mac I guess they don't even consider the resale value.

I don’t understand the actual decision but I appreciate the gusto with which it was made.

Seriously, I have several mac laptops dating back to 2004 and they all have less wear than that.
