They sure are. They are selling budget, cobbled-together hardware that "supports FOSS", when in reality you are the one providing that support.

Purism paid for all the development and the PinePhone folks took it for free. Which is perfectly ok – it’s open source.

But that doesn’t make Purism’s business case any less valid.
