I bought two of the M&Ps, here is the stake job on mine. Not as pronounced as the OP's but not as "pretty" as some stake jobs either. They don't bother me.
Holy hell, that shouldn't be considered "staking" at all.
My first Ar-15! with some questions.

Holy hell, that shouldn't be considered "staking" at all.
Here's the definition of a tool: "a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function." Here are some SYNONYMS, you know, other words that can be used in place of the word "tool". implement, utensil, instrument, device, apparatus, gadget, appliance, machine,
Here's a quick example.
something (such as an instrument or apparatus) used in performing an operation or necessary in the practice of a vocation or profession a scholar's books are his tools

So yes, a firearm is a tool and no it is not a Jewel. The intent of the statement is that you use TOOLS to perform a task or accomplish something. A Jewel does absolutely nothing but look pretty. Perhaps you didn't see the parallel.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
The only one whos feeling are hurt is the kid freaking out "RESTRICTED GUNS AREN'T TOOLS!!!!" because he doesn't know squat about the English language, shooting disciplines or firearms. Then getting upset when everyone disagrees with him and needs to reach to a non-related comparison to a hardware store.
You can continue to be emotional and upset, no sweat off my back. Lots of people like you in the internet, looking for a fight or to be right when you're clearly wrong. Shrug.
Yeah, it's a pretty "mild" stake job, but it doesn't concern me much. I know that it's not "correct" according to the AR manual but I also know I have an AR that has thousands of rounds through it with no stake job on it and it's tight as eff. Something to keep an eye on, I guess.

Don't know why people are so against staking properly. Its a .5 second job. You probably waste more time making sure it stays tight then staking it in the first place.

Hey, stake away if that floats your boat... I use a PWS tube and could care less.

Unless you go with a silent buffer system, in which case it goes 'swish' instead of 'BOING'...They sure seem louder than most. BOING BOING BOING!

There are a lot of advantages (in addition to the 'swish') namely dampened recoil, a one-piece system, no tension and easy removal (no detent pin striking you in the forehead).
Once you go 'swish' you never go back...I like the BOING. I giggle when I shoot them.
Recoil control can be achieved through different buffers and springs. Not sure about the tension comment. If you're referring to the interference between the upper and buffer when you reassemble them, that's supposed to happen. The detent should never spring out anywhere if you're paying attention.
