That is true as well. I recently went to a "teacher supply" warehouse in the Bay Area, where companies donate all types of random crap. There were barrels or cracked X-40's for sale. .25 each. I guess it'd be good for science projects, or maybe even a ball machine for drills. Majority of them were minor cracks.
First time I've seen it, and maybe it's common elsewhere, but people had put in Sharpie their phone numbers on the balls.

A single neon yellow/green ball is more valuable than 12 pink balls that wont get any play. There's a reason why alternative colors are so cheap.
A 3-pack of balls can end up lasting a couple months because other balls get used as well. So thats like $4-10 a pack, depending on the sale.
Anything under $2/ball for neon yellow Franklin X-40's is a good deal.
If you play somewhere where the ball can be easily retrieved, you can also consider LifeTime balls (LT Pro 48). They're the ball that the pros use and are much more durable than Franklin X-40's. They also play more consistent than Franklins once broken in.

Another reason people don't want to play with other colors even if they are franklin x40's is that brighter colors are easier see at night. No real difference in daylight unless the ball color is similar to the court color then obviously that's no bueno but main issue is non-bright colors are harder to see at night and they have a point there. So I'd be fine with using and defending these in the day and sticking to a highlighter color ball at night.
Just a heads up.
