It may just be corporate butt covering.

However these ones are cheap plastic on ground spikes so they are easy to
lift for the winter (and also not that robust).

That's what mine are too!

Solar stuff in general should stay out in all weathers as long as it is well
engineered.

The problem may be the cheap plastic casings which perhaps will trap water,
freeze, then split.

For that price, they can take part in a field (lawn) trial.

My feeling too, except I don't really want the hassle of buying new
ones.
