I’d rather have all my products in one piece then have less packaging and broken products. I just recycle it all anyway

don't fundamentally disagree but you could have probably played a game of footie with the inner box alone with industrial grade air-pillow packaging and taped box, and it would have been fine, let alone the huge outer box and loads of paper in that.
I once had a single CD packaged in a similar outer large box and reams of card/paper.
Cost has to be added somewhere along the way - why do it when [not all of] it needed

That’s nothing. Back in the day, HP and Sun Microsystems had packaging down to an art.

Here’s my offering. I only bought the small white cable in the middle. It could have gone in a standard DL envelope let alone a box that size

And my offering arrived today, I think the two original boxes would have been sufficient, although as said previously no damage to product 👍🏼👍🏼
