Football fans are loyal too, but it is part and parcel to fandom to stand on the sidelines and criticize what those getting the big bucks are paid to do. The analogy is valid, and so are your feelings. Without avid and critical fans, football would fail.
So go ahead and grouse about the heater the car was built around. Consider that the combination unit was done for us, yes US of A, who had early on become addicted to AC in the automobile. You'll have lots of company.
You'd design it differently, of course. With hindsight, a lot of things might have been different. There's no shame in Monday Morning Quarterbacking - it is an easy pastime for the masses. The few who actually call the plays and execute them care not. They know there's more to it than meets the instant replay, and shrug off the critics and listen to their coaches.
And, as far as differences of opinion go, like I said, the glass on the first floor looking in is filthy. It is a matter of perspective, and differences are expected. From a user or maintenance man perspective, I agree, they should have been designed to last forever, much like my 35-year-old Maytag, which has a fair chance of outlasting the Hubble.
Just my opinion...
