Ick! It just feels crappy and bad and cheap. Plastic things make creaky noises and fall apart, and they feel bad to interact with. Idk if it's a sensory thing or I'm just an asshole, but I fully believe that under FALGSC I would never have to touch this shit.

They don't make glass and metal TV remotes or game controllers. I can never replace my Kindle Oasis because every other e-reader is made of the cheapest, worst plastic.

How can I just ...not have to touch plastic anymore?

A extremely impractical solution would be to take plastic X thing and submerge it in sand-oil then cast it in aluminum using the lost wax method

Lost PLA works for aluminum, too, which opens up 3D printing as an option for creating the cast molds.
