Might be the wrong place to pick the battle - apart from special needs cases this is an item that should have a very short usage life, probably days to weeks, and that's already a lot of money to spend for such a short usage.
The throwaway-ness of it is probably more of an issue to object to. Hopefully they'll get handed down, gifted to cousins, or sold.
Some kind of arrangement that converts back to a single rear tire would be better.
