It's a bit niche in the radio hobby, but very cool. That said, it is marketed to a very specific type of radio hobbyist which is probably best explained by looking at the first few sections of the manual, specifically around section 2a if you want to get a better sense of who this is for

I feel like 2a just says "It's for radio astronomy", is that what you mean?

Sort of. We have to understand what a SARA project is, how and where DSP would be employed, etc...hence why I mentioned its pretty niche. Radio astronomy, from my outsider understanding, is not something a newbie just walks in the door and picks up on. You have to have some experience with typical SDR use, data collection, etc.
