The extreme mystery is the price
The designers were clever and economical, it is cheaper to make sets of 3 feet rather than 4 and the device you put them on will balance on nearly any form of uneven surface (like the 3 legged bar stool vs a 4 legged one). So this optimizes both results & profits...its the dream come true. So maybe they are not nearly as stupid as they appear.

As for the price, everyone knows most of the time, price is synonymous with quality and performance, after all, how could they be as wonderful and outstanding as they say they are, if they cost the same as a serving of fish & chips. This is why advertising is now known as "perception management". Bravo to the marketing engineers. Imagine under-pricing the Emperor's New Clothes, what a silly mistake that would have been.
