Again,

It depends on the manufacturer whether talons are required or not. I first saw PEX in 1996 after first getting into this business. Back then, I saw PEX on about 10% of new homes that I'd inspected. Today, I see it on about 90% of new homes - even high end homes. Some plumbers use talons, some even use covers - most don't. Most simply cut the pipe and install an elbow secured to a stud behind the drywall and let that last six inches of pipe jutt straight out through the drywall. Very few do it as sloppily as seen in Marc's photos but as far as I can tell there is no mandate to have talons or to configure those so they stick out of the wall pretty like unless the manufacturer says so.

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Because consumers don't know any better. For my money that kind of workmanship (if one can call it that) is unacceptable. That is reason enough to report it.
