It boils down to a business case. In my travels we see a high failure rate -- higher than I'd like to see --, but $boss likes the price, and, as Jason pointed out below, for the price, it can be a "successful" business model. In a nutshell: For someone on a budget, they're great; buy spares.

We're in the market for a hand-held 10G ethernet tester, and I was curious if the NANOG community had any recommendations or experiences they would be willing to share, negative or positive. Currently we're looking at the EXFO MAX-800 and NetScout's AT 10G, but we're open to other suggestions.

Not to mention that they "raised my rent" a few months ago by $5/mo, which is pretty ludicrous considering that a) it doesn't actually work as advertised, and b) it probably cost them $20-30 to purchase those SMCs wholesale in the first place. They've made their money on my CPE many many times
