Apple Releases Limited-Edition AirPods Pro in Celebration of Chinese New Year

The cases on my AirPods hold up pretty well and the engraving is still visible after more than two years. Under Jobs there were a boy cases for the higher up headphones they used to offer and the plastic seemed way cheaper.
Why couldn't Apple do something worthwhile such as releasing PRODUCT(RED) AirPods Pro (and worldwide)?
Why would they do that?
They do what boosts sales and increases profits for them them most.and releasing Chinese new year edition is the money maker for them not getting less profit from US consumers.
Right? This is consistent since Apple started their stores in China. Is Apple even a USA company anymore? /s
To be honest this is simply an ingraving on the outside case - no big deal.
I mean:
Nike is launching 2 re-release of Year of the Rabbit of Jordan shoes next month and the entire SHOE is done up sweetly!
uke: Apple can KEEP that junk all day e'eryday! Apple doesn't open any stores in North America anymore and also hasn't had those wondrous gift surprise bags at openings for a VERY long time.
There are rumors every year about new color options, and every year none come out. I think white AirPods are one of Apple signature looks so they are hesitant to offer more options. If they ever do in the near future, I hope they don't go with the color ways offered on the AirPods Max and other products.
At first it didn't like my primary Apple ID with US billing address and Apple Card, I also selected the delivery method (to a valid Hong Kong address), then I used my other Apple ID with HK address and same Apple Card. This time it worked and let me do an in store pick up, which I'll be flying there after New Year. It's actually a few dollars cheaper than buying in the states and no sales tax.
Lordy lord, Apple release such lame ass limited products. Couldn't even be bothered to print the picture in red. This is Apple - bare minimum they can get away with whilst maintaining their bottle line. Tim Cook may well have been great with supply lines, but the man has zero imagination at all.
Why does one need this for customization. Just print a sticker of the thing you need and stick it to the AirPods case.
As someone born in the year of the Rabbit and being Chinese, I never knew they did these. Pretty cool but too bad unavailable for purchase in North America. Although it's just a small engraving, they could've done more like a special sticker or something at least.
