Why do McIntosh come with cheap plastic remotes?


Any comments as to why Macs come with el-chepo remotes?
Somehow this just doesn't fit with the notion of elegant and robust gear.

Totally agree with the OP! A quality remote should be part of the experience of using a high cost component. 

A few years ago I was car shopping and looked at Mercedes Benz. While it drove nice, inside were buttons and knobs that, to me, were made of cheap plastic and did not feel "right" compared to the rest of the car. Needless to say, I passed on buying it.
