Owners report rust forming on Tesla Cybertruck
Not to blindly defend Apple here (it sounds like the case is shoddy), but I think there's a distinction here: they're trying to preempt people returning the case because of a normal leather patina, not because it's falling apart.

Not to blindly defame Apple, but this sounds exactly like the kind of spin they would use to paper over a shoddy product.

Leather Patina being desirable is a centuries long tradition and marker of authenticity.
If we had a centuries long expectation of rust being desirable, then Tesla would have a point

There's patina, and there's peeling. Tesla seems to be aiming for the latter, while calling it the former.
