Because good industrial design, even if the average joe will never see it, is ultimately a sign that engineers actually put care into the design of their work and enthusiasts can ultimately appreciate going the extra mile for attention to detail?

Christ you guys are autistic

Laughable
Where engineers put their man hours is decided by the company's financial arm

enjoy your exploded ass, nigger

The companies "financial arm" essentially contracts the engineering department to deliver a product. Unless you enjoy financial collapse, you should know that micro management is suicide, and just as engineers don't deal with finance, finacers don't deal with engineering. They set a budget and deadline. That's it.

Bullshit, engineers focus on the efficiency what they make not the arousal of the public.
This is just marketing hype and you're buying into it just like any other gullible people out there.

And obviously it makes us not eat/buy shit constantly.

Industrial design is an art. The most talented engineers on the planet understand the importance of aesthetics and how function becomes form. You see this every day in real life, from cars to furniture to architecture. Even the beige box PCs of yesteryear were designed with professionalism in mind.

Admittedly you have autism though, and a sign of autism is binary logic. Perhaps you're more of a fan of the soullessness of Cold War Brutalism?

True
Depends on their goals but obviously the design of this graphic card obviously isn't helping anything (besides selling it).
Of all the spectrum of autism you chose the one that tries to validate your point.

The aesthetics of the card can be seen as an ornamentation that augments the existing GPU cooling system. Instead of having a box of sharp 90 degree angles you can have soft corners and sleek surfaces that are friendly for gripping while also providing less friction for air flow inside the computers case.

The people who ultimately have to design the cards aren't robots, they're human beings

Did I fucking stutter? Fuck it
You are actually retarded. We're done here
