Like anything, you weigh up the benefits against the costs or your ability
to 'do' something else.
Personally, as a left handed keyer, the Palm radio side unit isn't a great
help, neither is the thin strip of metal and tape idea, as I'd need them on
the side of the radio with all of the sockets... That and the fact that I
already have fitted the 'Side KX' panels, so any alternative steel unit
wouldn't be of use to me.
Some people can and do, others prefer to let an organisation like Palm Radio
do
something for them.
I've bought antennas and poles from Richard at SOTA, they work well and I've
had a lot of use out of them. He's providing other products and services
that might be of use to other people. Just because some of us don't want or
need them doesn't mean that they wont be attractive to other people with
different wants or needs.

Either way, it would be an easy matter to neatly cut a strip of thin steel
to match the Palm Paddle and stick it in place where ever you want with
double sticky cellophane tape. When you no longer want it, soak it off
with Goo Gone or similar.
Hobby stores carry K&S Metal products including small sheets of 0.008" or
0.013" tinned carbon steel. Easy to paint it to match too.
That would work with any radio without needing a whole new sideplate.
