Alternately, you should be willing to pay a few extra bucks to the store for knowledgable, honest salespeople, saving you all the hours spent doing research."

Some people need help when shopping for electronics, and some people actually build a relationship with a salesperson (though, of course, not usually with the sleazy douchebags as depicted in the OP).
Buying an overpriced attachment is a way of saying "thank you" to the store, and helping to keep them in business.
The reason we get such shit service, outsourced jobs, and a complete lack of support from companies is because everyone wants the *CHEAPEST* thing, and they're more and more rarely willing to pay anything more for a better experience."
