> The vendor just doesn't want to acknowledge the real role of Raspberry Pi is not limited to being a cheap tinkerer board anymore The vendor is a charity with a mission that they have chosen [1]. They can target the Pi however they want to meet that mission. The fact that it doesn't happen to do something that you want it for is your problem not theirs. There has been a virtuous cycle that something originally aimed at education has been of use to so many hackers, resulting in high volumes and all the benefits that brings. But that doesn't mean that they also need to focus on other sectors. [1] https://www.raspberrypi.org/about/ |

I don't say they can't, I say that doesn't really reflect the actual reality. Many people buy it just because it's THE thing and a somewhat uniform standard so it's easier to target and to benefit from the existing ecosystem around it.
This also is a real role among those Raspbery PI plays in the real world. This is a fact the vendor marketing seemingly ignores - such is the meaning of my statement.
I don't judge them or demand anything.
