Has anyone else seen this? This seems to be a common pattern lately. Companies will list all their products:

Product X1 Product X2 Product Y1 Product Y2 Product R42 Product F25

… but they don’t have a page explaining what the difference between the X line, Y Line, R Line, and F Line actually are. Let’s say they are gadgets. Would it hurt them in any way to simply say the X line prioritizes speed, the Y line is backwards compatible with legacy gadgets, the R line is meant for business use, and the F line is experimental form factors. How do you not think to put this info on your page?

    It’s the same with energy pricing, 15 different rates for the same gas and electricity just from one supplier. Half of them you aren’t eligible for for some reason but they won’t tell you outright you have to dig through the terms.

    Then comparison sites appear to help, some suppliers aren’t on them “to keep pricing simple”, aaarrgghh.

    It just means in most cases you end up paying too much for something and they make more money out of you.
