How about Enphase/Clippercreek including their own NEMA 14-50 outlet which is a $60 Bryant receptacle? Why isn't Enphase putting a $10 NEMA 14-50 in the box instead?
Here's the official Enphase Training Installation video from the company (timestamped to the NEMA 14-50 receptacle instructions)

"Even if you have a NEMA 14-50 already, Enphase is requiring you to replace that as we've seen some overheating from some older receptacles"
Is your assertion that Leviton and Enphase are just scaremongering unassuming consumers?
