The back of the device is so "busy" with all the text, it's almost anti-productive. Especially if you have to stare at it hanging off your monitor.

Why put the ugly bits right in front of your face?

How many times are you going to read the fixed text before your mind just glazes over it? I don't image it'd be particularly distracting

I had assumed those would be stickers that you can take off… if it’s etched onto the device it would indeed be bad design IMO.
