For years you could buy 'Store Brand' TV's and electronics. Opening a Sam's(tm), you discovered: Many only had a 'Trim' change (the circuit was 100% identical). Some, did have small circuit or component changes (Sears, Radio Shack... versions), but for most purposes--the same item.

This is neither bad, nor good.
What you speak of is neither "good or bad" because Sears, Radio Shack, etc., weren't advertising a custom product for "old folks" that would make the technology easier for them to learn and use. Not quite the same thing.
