Personally, as an engineer, I want the things that I make to be useful and used. I find it insulting when I make something and it gets put on a shelf and forgotten. In this instance, many engineers took their time to design something to be utilized. If you leave it in a box, you're not utilizing it. It's just a waste of the engineers time. I buy things to use it, so I open them, so they get used. I appreciate the effort others have put into these things.
