It's people like you that ruin it for everyone else.
You paid good money for that thing. They owe you speaker holes. Protest in front of the Apple Store until they give you what you want.
If not, we're sending a message to big companies that they can walk all over us. The little people.
Today, it's missing speaker holes.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Heck, they might start selling you batteries that lose their charge capacity after 5 years.
Unacceptable.
And I for one, will not stand for it.
