Lots of people raised this issue on Reddit, Facebook etc, and Elegoo pretty much said too bad.
Hard for me to trust initial releases after that, especially when a lot of "reviews" thus far are from paid YouTubers.
Just my 2 cents.

Adding a pi, connecting it to the 4 uart pins on the mobo, and flashing an image took me about an hour round trip. From printing with Marlin to printing in Klipper. The process has certainly changed. It's mainline klipper now, so full update capabilities and printing profiles that actually work.
I'm with you, the N3 series was NOT ready to release, its a well made clone of an upgraded ender 3, but they didnt think all the upgrades through and the execution stumbled, the N4 series has been great for me, but needs $5 extra hardware to fix most of what's wrong with it. Again, little things hang up the whole line of products.
If you pop into the Elegoo discord, there's a carbon channel where non-youtubers also have carbon's, so there's some more realistic feedback and pics, and people already with the machine to answer questions. So far, I've been satisfied with the honesty and frankness of the feedback, and someone's working on breaking the machine out of Elegoo's firmware and getting it back to mainline klipper.
Yeah tha's good news. I'm hoping someone is able to crack this and just get clean Klipper on it. If the hardware alone is great and the firmware is open source and community supported, this could be quite the machine.
You don't just get something from nothing. Corners have to be cut somewhere. But hey maybe they've hit one out of the park here....
Personally I'd rather "buy once cry once" with the tool I use the most around the house than save $200-300. Heck $500. I use my printer so freakin' much, lol.
Anyone should be able to get it. Just have the extension installed and go to the elegoo website. Wait about a day and then they'll send the offer. That's what I did and it's worked every time with other sites too.
I bought yesterday and my cb posted today for around $60+ so 22.5% just like in your picture.
