Only One Handle on new Original Premium Kettles

I'm a newbie to the forum, but I make custom grill tables using Weber Original Premium Kettles.

I received an order, and ordered myself the same kettle I've always used. The Weber 22" Original Premium Kettle.

When I received it, there was only one handle welded to the kettle. I called customer service and they assured me it was an error and would ship me a replacement with the correct 2 handles.

When I received the replacement it too only had one handle.

This is when the customer service at Weber first learned that there was a design change to the 22" Original Premium Kettle. It now only comes with one handle attached to the kettle and one on the lid.

I think this is a really dumb engineering decision to save a buck or two. (Especially when the Weber logo itself shows a kettle with two handles)
 
Not sure they have had two for a long time. Not sure there is a real need for two by most users. If you put a table one one, doesn't it eventually bend ?
