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.

I doubt it.

Doesn't matter what you doubt, it does anyway.

And trivial to test.

You do understand levers right?

Yep, unlike you would can't even manage to work out that the force
on the screws is pulling them out of the wall with that bracket.

With a huge force due to the amplification from the leverage. Those shelves are just like crowbars pulling nails out of a wall.

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.

If you want your house to look like MacOS.

I prefer that there isnt some ugly bracket visible.

Then get a nice looking bracket.
