Stainless steel also stains. “Stainless” does not mean “never stains,” just that it stains less than other steels.
Endless Spotless Stainless Steel is a steel that stains, has fewer spots, and ends a bit later.
The logic of English is all but senseless. Which means it has everything except a bit less sense.
I found out way too late that “all but” means exactly the same thing as “almost”. If “all but X” is taken literally, it should mean “you can describe this thing in lots of ways, but it’s definitely not X”.
