Assuming that payout issue is the same I found when searching for possible pools for the Apollo BTC before concluding not to participate in the pre-order, it really shouldn't be underestimated from new users point of view. I haven't been following BTC pools at all so it's likely I may have missed some (and I assumed KanoPool wasn't anymore even active due to the stats page not having anything recent), but the conclusion was that with one unit running at about 2.8 TH/s (based on the screenshot), the payout interval would end up being around 2-3 months with the current difficulty and the minimum payout threshold that pools are having. From a new user point of view, that's too long and the user will start to doubt things like settings being correct or the pool not being the right one. Especially when in comparison a single Apollo LTC unit still gives a payout interval of 2-4 days (litecoinpool with minimum payout threshold being my datapoint).
