Wasn't it because they basically told backers that "they didn't purchased anything", and instead of focusing on fulfilling kickstarter backers orders, started selling them in shops, so you could actually get the device faster purchasing it normal way in e-store, instead of backing the campaign, which pissed off a lot of people who started complaining and got muted? I've heard that even talking about that on their discord is bannable offense, and everything is either countered with jokes, sarcasm or put under the rug.

Can't confirm - I was a backer and not an early one. My device was delivered all right in fair time.
Not at all — I was a backer a year or two ago (but not quite early enough to get a black unit) and just received mine a month or two ago.
