Why is this passé Galaxy Note 5 mod getting around?

Has the GameBoy Advance finally come back in fashion or is everyone chewing on nostalgia gristle today? Is everyone on the Firefox Fx0 cool-aid? Are people forgetting that you could theoretically do this on your Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, S6 edge and S6?

After all, it only would take:

Using a heat gun to carefully warm up the back surface of the Samsung device to loosen up the adhesive keeping the thing together.
Suctioning off the cover from the body.
Scoring the chrome sticker to rip it off the cover, resulting in nails-on-chalkboard-esque sound (see video below)
Reapplying both heat and the cover to the device.

People realize that there ARE better things you can do with the cover off other than just voiding your warranty. Discover the device! Hack the thing even further! Make some bigger news than this!

Or you could make some money.
