I'm still upset that Raspberry Pi was focused on ensuring institutional customers (like these electric scooters) could order thousands of Pis, while leaving hobbyists trying to order single-digit quantities scrambling through years-long waiting lists and listings which get snapped up in seconds ( ▶ this video ).
This interview with one of the founders from Jeff Geerling was quite insightful, definitely check it out if you haven't already! ▶ this video
There's a great interview with Eben Upton that explains a lot of this, including what "Business customers" actually are (i.e. mostly mom and pop style enterprises) ▶ this video
They've chosen to prioritize selling to businesses ordering hundreds of Pis for field-deployed devices, over individual hobbyists ordering single-digit quantities for tinkering and hacking ( ▶ this video ).
