The mounting plate the rods are welded to that the screws go thru,

I thought the whole idea was it was invisible. Jut a rod terminating
in
a single screw, all inline. If there's a plate, surely that's
visible?

Not if you make the shelf thicker than the plate is tall it isn't, no.

Surely the shelf can only be an inch or so thick or it'd look
ridiculous. That's not enough to give leverage to a bracket.

If you would go look at the LV link a zillion folks have pointed you to,
you would realize that's exactly what it is sized for.

And, it's sufficient leverage for 100-lb distributed load on a 5-1/2"
wide shelf with two arms.

This has gone beyond ridiculous.

What's ridiculous is you not realising that a 12 inch shelf pulling
against a 1 inch bracket is a LOT of leverage.

Still allows 100lb on that shelf fine.

The bracket has to be about the same height as the depth of the shelf.

Obviously it doesn't and looks much better done that way.
