    My only question is if they are aiming to make their photos accurate and just have no idea or if they are deliberately going for believable to non-tech people but ridiculous to anyone who knows something about what’s going on.

      In favor of doing it deliberately wrong is that trying to do it right, and failing, would be more embarrassing.

      Yes, you are a jackass, but you’re clearly trying to be one, so good job!

      I mean, nobody has said anything about ESD or ventilation. There’s no fume hood or equivalent nor any ESD protection. If the model had actually attempted to solder correctly, then people in the know would have attacked the picture for more substantial reasons, than the apparent ridiculousness.

      And what do you want to be associated with your products? People who are clearly just modeling, or people who are giving false impressions about the product? The latter is a legal liability TBH, so better to go the first route.
