Please give Microsoft some credit, I am pretty confident they would design a display case with adequate airflow. Please don't suggest that is the cause here.

Most displays are designed and supported by a 3rd party company and not the product manufacturer themselves.

 

 

 I realize that MS didn't actually fabricate the case, but they have final approval on any display units created.  I am assuming that they would have a special requirement for airflow.

You'd be surprised how much things get handed off to another company.  Worse still many times it gets handed off again to a 3rd company.  The first comapny would be external marketing and the 3rd company could be the actual retail display firm.

 

Far too many possibilities and situations.  I'm not syaing that's exactly how it happened but it's a fairly common practice.
