This lens is also very unparfocal. It looses focus during video all the time when zooming just a little.

Very few photography zooms are parfocal. It is the first thing to go when trying to achieve small size and weight, manageable price, and good optics. After all, in the world of AF photography, it is assumed focus is updated automatically when the shutter is pressed, so it is not the design priority that it once was before AF. Show me any 10x photography zoom lens that is parfocal? Size, price?

Stick to the one legitimate concern you have (based on your own evidence). Trying to make up new things to criticise it for only makes you look like bias.
