because capitalism.
That's a whole nother question, and my "scumbag" epithet was just playing to the crowd here.
I'm not even angry, having never owned a Crackenfail nor been tempted to. If even I know they dont care about end users, nobody who bought one in 2017 has much right to be pissed off at Cannondale/CSG/Dorel, they should be angry with themselves for failing to do due diligence. As usual with consumer capitalism, the customers are the root of the problem, they ask for something and they get it. If enough of them asked for something different, there would be entrepreneurs ready to give it to them.

This is true, but not everybody in the world is angry as you, so some might like to know that that due to the way conglomorate corporations like Dorel opperate, its not just as simple as "it's Cannondales fault"
Yes, its a shame that most big bike manfacturers are owned by 'scumbag private equity' companies these days, but unfortunately thats just the way the world works, because capitalism.
