While also a nerd who hates it when I have to dig for a seat post dimension from a bike company (who all know there are a bazillion) I can give a bit of a pass when they’re really trying to sell car-substitutes to recreational-cyclists (folks who’ve never thought about how rotors attach to hubs and some of whom will wear those rotors down until they snap and then be really mad about it - service, what?).
I would have assumed none of those people are buying fancy coloured lock rings directly from what certainly qualifies in my mind as a nerd brand? I mean, Camo rings, EnCase tools, Ti Morse cages… Wolf Tooth is pretty nerd+.
Also, I’m clearly not talking about riders who may come across something like these lockrings in the internet and ask at the local shop - or on the NSMB forum! - about compatibility. I’ve had to ask all kinds of ‘simple’ questions about my car, or fixing appliances, or lately about healing an Achilles and have always been rewarded with knowledge for my efforts. Know what you don’t know.
