Yes. It's odd that they wouldn't use a vesa mount if they are targeting this market that often uses custom display mount grids. Or at at least include the bracket in the packaging. You can use a vesa mount and still support custom mounting brackets. Like my Dell 4ks all support vesa but use an alternative hook to actually connect and remove the monitor from the base.
Because the snide remark was agreeing with the reasonable statement, and mocking Apple.
