The best way to "win" is to skimp on parts that reviewers won't notice, and to beef up the parts that they will notice.

(I bought a bike the other day that includes a very nice pump, which I will probably never use, but skimps on the freewheel and chainring, which I will have to replace at my own expense. Very silly.)

It's unlikely that Apple saved any money by underclocking the SATA interface; I would guess they did it to save power.
This appears to be a configuration issue, as the relevant hardware is the same as the previous models. Performance only appears to be effected on high-end aftermarket SSDs, not on the drives Apple ships.
Since when did this become an Apple news site?
