On a practical note: we need to mock this to the point that anyone who actually does it will instantly be a social pariah. This needs to be so embarrassingly stupid that the companies who offer it literally blush, something non-human entities typically can't do. Gamers Nexus had a good video about NZXT doing this and broke down the math for the numerically challenged.
Any other ideas for making this fail in a country where the consumer protection agencies are often worse than nobody paying attention at all?
yes ... but remember the horse armor? people do be gullible
