Elsewhere someone bemoans that landing pages don't answer "what is it?".
Some (most!) sellers couldn't care less if it's right for you, just if you buy it. Spelling out what a product is can lose customers.
Example: Back in the day I bought a minidisc player-recorder as you could easily put/remove tracks digitally. Turned out you couldn't do that properly, only from computer, not to computer, making it terrible for live recording (my need). If they'd told me properly "what is it" then I would instead have bought an mp3 player.
Yup, still bitter - cost me many hours that mistake.
A corollary to this though, they made the sale, but I've never bought from the company (Sony) again.
