The "metal is better than plastic" attitude is justified in laptops, for example. But normally you don't hold a laptop in your hand while using it. Plastic may be cheaper, but it feels better in hand-held devices like ereaders. A metal device is cold and slippery.

TBH, it' not the "plastic is cheap" view per se that bothers me, it's the insistence that it is an objective statement of fact, as opposed to a subjective opinion.
