Oh don't worry, it isn't! Its just backed by Jeff Bezos himself.......

Yeah......

This world sucks, and sometimes you gotta make some shitty pragmatic choices. I would judge someone harshly for a Tesla but less so for Slate given that 1. Jeff isn't so openly racist so much as being a greedy bastard of a human being, and 2. Slate is backed by him but not fully owned by him.

Ah the fun of the world we live in...

Yeah 100%, I'm fully on board with your reasoning. I'm continuously arguing with myself over a Bronco or a Tacoma (only modern backcontry capable vehicles with manuals I'm aware of), so I do NOT have a moral high ground here haha
