Abouse and shock is not just related to recoil ... getting in and out of a vehicle, climbing through windows, falling on concrete etc. you can easily ram your optic into something, a real-steel optic will make it out alive a replica one will most likely not from my past experience.

Has mattered for me a ton especially in low light situations and even more so in combination with night vision devices. Fake once have very poor low light settings and no night vision settings at all.

That is what it boils down to if you have fun with a replica optic and it works for you at that price point that is all that matters.
However the bottom line is real optics will outperform the replicas and the more competitively priced real-steel optics are not even that much more expensive than the clones.
