Methodology
Brand verdicts are based on buyer fit, app and accessory ecosystem, support path, price pressure, and the risks that tend to show up after install. A strong reply from a manufacturer can improve factual clarity, but it does not improve placement.
If support coverage, warranty language, or dealer access are thin, we would rather say that plainly than hide it behind marketing copy.
