Wrong. You can create a variety of chassis builds that has the same white sleekness and brushed metal. Also, not to mention this hardware seems to be on nearly every Macintosh device. These costs money, money that the general consumer doesn't have and would look for a different alternative. Ergo, lost sale because of it's unnecessary high price tag.

Besides, Macintosh isn't the only one that has a teeming engine. Brushed metal is an option on a lot of platforms.
