They are free to offer whatever deal they want.  I don't have a problem with
them chosing to charge $50 extra if you want your mechanical holes not
plated on the inside as long as they make that clear, and they do.  My beef
is that they then don't go ahead and do what they say they're going to do
without holding up your job waiting for you to confirm.  In other words,
when I explicitly check the button that says "No I don't want unplated
holes", I am counting on them to do just that without holding up my job to
ask if I really meant it.

I would have been happy if they had said "If you check this button and you
have holes with no copper going to them, we are going to require your
confirmation before processing the order.  If you just want us to do it
without asking, say so in the comment box."
