Despite how much I dislike working with hardware, I'm toying with the idea of building my own PC. A quick perusal through Newegg leaves me wondering why everything related to gaming PCs has to have RG (mastodon.world)

The neat part about modern RGB is that it's fully customizable- and you can turn it off. I set up OpenRGB profiles so that I can turn all the lights in my computer either off completely, or on to preset color schemes with one click of a button.

In reality RGB is just a super cheap feature to add that is a bit of a flashy upsell, which is why almost every gaming manufacturer adds it. You are under no obligation to use it.

Yep. I didn't choose to have rgb in my current build, but it's also very simple to turn them off. Whereas 15 years ago I remember pulling the blindingly bright blue LED from the chassis fans just to be able to have my room dark. Lol
