I think you may have hit the nail on the head there. Perhaps the place that manufacturers for all the new reference-based device can only do a certain kind of finished plastic at the moment.
That would certainly be a very big disappointment.
I've never liked glossy black for any electronic device. Sadly, my interest is starting to fade. If they can't go matte, then I might avoid this device -- unless they come up with a few alternate pigment choices. Doing special runs of the case in different pigments should add little to no cost to the process, unless they've already taken delivery of a massive batch of cases in black.
