Are some battery /SDcard slot covers deliberately made flimsy

I have an OM-D E-M5 Mk II that has a broken lock/unlock tab that broke. Like many others with this experience, I found the piece of plastic is so thin that any sensible designer would have made it from metal or used a thicker ABS or strong plastic.
I just wonder if it was a ploy to get customers to pay for a replacement. And you can't easily buy one readily. Someone asked on Aliexpress for well over US$50 for that small cover piece. Must be like paying $20K for a broken Porsche tail lamp. What a rip-off from a bad design decision from Olympus. Apart from not making sure they managed their accounting in the last decade or two.

The Sony a7CR is a high-resolution addition to the company's compact full-frame a7C series. So what did we make of it and where does it leave the a7 IV that it sits just above?
Lomography's LomoChrome '92 is designed to mimic the look of classic drugstore film that used to fill family photo albums. As we discovered, to shoot with it is to embrace the unexpected, from strange color shifts to odd textures and oversized grain.
The LowePro PhotoSport Outdoor is a camera pack for photographers who also need a well-designed daypack for hiking and other outdoor use. If that sounds like you, the PhotoSport Outdoor may be a great choice, but as with any hybrid product, there are a few tradeoffs.
The Sony a7C II refreshes the compact full-frame with a 33MP sensor, the addition of a front control dial, a dedicated 'AI' processor, 10-bit 4K/60p video and more. It's a definite improvement, but it helps if you value its compact form.
Why is the Peak Design Everyday Backpack so widely used? A snazzy design? Exceptional utility? A combination of both? After testing one, it's clear why this bag deserves every accolade it's received.
