I’m not defending the brand, but all stainless steel sinks will scratch. The first one or two look terrible, but then the scratches accumulate until you get sort of a patina from all the scratches. If you look at a stainless steel counter or your stainless mixing bowl, you will see endless scratches. The things we put into the sink are often as hard or harder than stainless steel, thus the scratches.

As for the rust, technically stainless steel can rust, but usually rust spots in the sink are from a different source- metal utensils or pans that oxidize with water.

You can try to passivate the stainless steel by letting it sit in a paste of barkeeper’s friend for 15 minutes and then rinsing out to prevent rust spots.
