Rich of them to claim that "users will complain" when their platform is built for hobbiests and tinkerers. What a terrible stance.

> their platform is built for hobbiests and tinkerers

I don't think that's been true for a long time. Their main market is commercial users now - reference what happened with COVID shortages and RPi prioritizing nearly all of their capacity to commercial users, leaving tinkerers with little to no stock.

		I'd imagine that will be for compute module, not the other SKUs ?

It's tough but I'd still wager that more hobbyists and tinkers will complain when their 8GB Pi that they bought from Amazon, or anywhere really, won't actually run their project that they wanted to use 8GB for properly because that 8GB is little more than a fiction.

They ought to complain to Amazon, then. They were sold one thing but delivered something else.

		Yes. Except linked in this exact discussion is a thread where the person is asking RPi for remedy instead because the seller has been unable to assist (i.e. has run off with their money).

Maybe originally, I'm sure their larger market share is now the embedded market. The whole compute module thing.
