That's fine with me if it brings the cost of the monitor down, I use my own monitor mount anyway. The cardinal sin in Apple's case was also not including the $200 VESA adapter for free with the monitor. If you bought just the monitor, you are literally unable to use it (unless you just prop it up) without buying either the $200 VESA adapter or $1000 stand.
With the Spectrum, it has a standard VESA mount built into the display's rear. No upcharge for that.
