Sorry, but I just don't like judgemental views like the one you seem to be perpetrating.
Perhaps it was a gift, or they saved up for it, and were then disillusioned with the whole process due to the apparently exhorbitant additional costs. It's not that uncommon a situation. I know I certainly would be put off such a purchase after having to deal with that.
I agree that it does appear odd, but until you know the facts, wouldn't it be better to just let it slide?
