edit: I should specify I'm talking about the range of diversity in the format (shown below) not simply the format itself
Feels like a disproportionate amount of design effort when into this format considering they are essentially invisible for most of their use. AFAIK there isn't a single even remotely clear MD player, portable or not, and the packages themselves usually weren't clear so fighting for shelf space attraction is also a no. They look too interesting for things that would generally go unseen and it's obviously more work than a simple CD label change or whatever. š½š¤š½
