You're right, plastic can be wonderful. For years I had a carbon fibre bottle cage on my otherwise definitely unweightweenie bike, as the single ironic comment I pemitted myself. Eventually I removed it because the designer shaved an extra gramme by making it too small to retain any but oversized bottles that put tension on it. Those you show are of a fundamentally better design.

I have had a pair of those Cateye plastic cages for 15 years and
still rolling. They don't rattle; they don't drop bottles; they
don't break. Also they're $6 and weigh 30g. A total win.

But I'm sure Joerg would worry about a sharp edge that will cut his leg

when he inevitably crashes, and the smell of fresh blood will draw in
the mountain lions before a speeding motorcycle rider crashes into him
because his metal light bracket got bent in the fall but he couldn't
bend it back with his fingers.... or something.
