And your rage is misdirected because your proposal to make all hose fittings of brass is not a solution at all. Some people have aluminum spigots, so their feelings towards hoses with brass fittings would be just as valid as your feelings towards hoses with aluminum fittings. One is not inherently better or worse than the other.
So my beef isn't with companies selling hoses with aluminum connections - it's with ALL companies selling hoses. They should attach a warning label to the end of every hose that clearly states what the hose connection is made of, and the potential consequences of fusion to the threads of an incompatible spigot. Some may already do that in the small print on the advice of lawyers, but the warning really needs to be prominently displayed.
All that said, I have a 100 foot version of this hose and it's the best cheap hose I have ever owned for not kinking. But the color sucks, an icky gray/black mold thrives on it, and $15 for a 15 foot hose is hardly a bargain.
If you attached an aluminum hose to a brass spigot and left them on your dining room table for a year I don't think anything would happen.
