A good quality hard anodize should protect from galvanic corrosion.

I think people would fit into 2 categories.

1. Don't know anything - go for looks, the black anodized aluminium and the poly top look great.
2. Those who do know stuff - should know that anodizing should prevent galvanic corrosion, and that polycarbonate, if that's what they use is much MUCH tougher than acrylic, hence less likely to crack.

I personally don't think they're missing out on much.
