Yes. And, resellers sell things (different than factory) to make sales. With no evidence, empirical or anecdotal, that suggests that a quicker opening thermostat accomplishes anything - other than to get people who have a factory set up to purchase and install a cooler thermostat. As I've said above, I don't say cooler isn't possibly better but, in the absence of heat issues, there remains no compulsion to alter the factory set up to simply change out a thermostat.
