And that was a completely BS answer. Like I mentioned before (and anyone who thinks about it knows), you can get full back lighting on remotes as cheap as $20. There is NO cost issue. The issue was someone in development was just stupid - plain & simple.
One of my friends worked for an electronics company in the late-'70s/early-'80s and he would occasionally go to China or Korea to meet with the source for items that were imported. The response at the time, to the question "How much to add/remove a feature?", was "Thirty-seven cents".
This is what happens when people who aren't end-users design things- bad decisions are made and nobody catches it until it's too late.
