Nope, putting a duty on the customer to rewire and solder a brand new product is no excuse for poor electrical design.
If you bought a brand new ceiling fan, and it ran poorly, and you took it back to the store to return it, would you accept, "Wow. Don't you have a solder gun? Just take it apart and resolder the circuits."
I hope you wouldn't. :-)

Manny,
It's only poor electrical design to you, and perhaps a handful of us on this forum. To most of us the conversion from parallel to series is not worth all the drama.
And here's the kicker, none of us is in the target market for these things. They're intended to be an introductory toy for children, and newbies. All the way back to the earliest toy trains marketed 120 years ago kids, in particular, have wanted them to run fast. They're toys.
They've generously given out-of-market experts a fairly easy method for dealing with this. Use it.
