So I just bought a new Bosto drawing tab and after just a short sesh of sketching in Clip Studio, the surface of the tab itself looks like this... I mean you can literally see some of the doodles and faces clear as day, just etched on there for all eternity!!!
Ok jokes aside, my tab apparantly does have a protective screen from the looks of it, as shown in image 4, but still, should this be happening, or is this type of scratching unavoidable?

Beginner digital artist here and wanted to get a budget entry level displayless drawing tablet, but am torn between these two since they're the only ones that fall in my budget however seem to be roughly the same in terms of specs.
The Bosto seems to be the better choice on paper since it has the same ps, res, tilt, and number of buttons
while also having a much bigger 10x6 active area and knob which would be magical for zooming in and out and stuff.
But on the other hand gemini and gpt tells me that Bosto is know for bad drivers and unreliable sensitivity, which imo would be an artist's worst nightmare, and in terms of actual functionality, the Deco 640 is the more reliable option at the cost of only having a 6x3.7 active area (everything else is also the same here as well in terms of specs, minus the knob.)
So ig this is where I need help. I'll primarily be drawing on Krita, photoshop and blender (grease pencil) for the most part so is the bigger active area of the Bosto worth it? And is the functional reliability really that notoriously bad or is it blow out of proportion?
