HW accelerated Youtube already works out of the box on Raspberry Pi OS.

It is less complicated to setup a Raspberry Pi than install Windows 11.

Your average Walmart buyers don't even run antivirus, setup Google/Apply/Samsung Pay, install Microsoft Office, or know how to make a Windows 10/11 USB installer.

$200 Android phones are notorious for not actually working correctly in getting apps to run.

Yeah, only if you run some commands in the terminal from a tutorial, to enable that. That's where you loose most average joe consumers.

Your average consumer has no idea and no intention on installing an OS, that's why all machines at Walmart come with one preinstalled including Macs and PC Laptops.

Funny, I have a 200 EUro Android phone that runs everything correctly including HW accelerated Youtube and Netflix out of the box. I guess your $200 Android phones are just broken somehow. Maybe return them or file a RMA ticket.
