Yep. I have no worries that the bike is secure, but for the money, I was expecting the finishing elements a little nicer. The red pieces on my rack aren't even burgundy, they're just steel grey with no color, literally. The color faded by the end of the first month. The blue is still blue, but the red is just gone. I've wondered the same thing about the actuation needing to be broken in. There is no way my wife would be able to make it work and a few times I've thought it might need a few whacks with a hammer to get it going. Maybe the pandemic rush on bike stuff just put them over the limit and their quality has decreased in the last couple years? It's very stout. It's not very nice.
