Rental camera gear destroyed by the 2017 eclipse
I wonder, did they include a solar filter with all their rentals? If not, I wonder if that would have saved everyone some trouble.

Probably not, they are expensive, fragile and have very limited utility outside a major eclipse event.

Most people don't buy expensive screw-on types like these for a one-time event. You buy some solar filter film and fabricate yourself a lens cover out of cardboard for about $10.

Luckily I bought mine from Amazon and due to the ISO certification debacle they refunded my money and allowed me to keep it.
