TBF, it is common tactics for manufacturers to do this. They even have specific SKU for each retail store (Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc), including Black Friday SKUs (they are inferior/lower quality product intended for Black Friday/Cyber Monday day).

Not surprisingly that WD are going down to this route. "Shareholders is a priority over customers" is a common business mantra.
