Who is being "forced"?
There are countless companies and SBC's that are more professional, more open, cheaper, *insert your requirement here*. Always has been, always will be, why the hate for them to exist in their niche?

Because they are APPALLING in attitude, and when you weigh that up with the fact that they sell TOYS, it comes across as a bad taste. One does not simply and foolishly IGNORE the spirit of a company, merely because they hold what one desires - supporting a company with a crappy attitude is a bad move - one cannot simply whitewash over it.

Again, who is forcing you to care about them?
If you don't like them just don't buy or use their stuff.
Others are free to buy and like their stuff if it suits their needs. Majority of users probably never interact at all with the company, they just buy the board and it does the job they need, end of story.

They’re fools. They need to hand the reigns over to someone competent, or just dump the whole thing.

Why do you care? They are meeting a market niche and succeeding at it.

I was sent a Pi 400 review unit, and has SUCH a terrible time with moronic, hyper-sensitive "moderators" at their childish forum, I unplugged the piece of junk and just wanna snap it over my knee and bin it, seriously, what schmucks. They're as good at moderating and accepting critcism as they are at designing hardware. They are a sham front for Broadcom.

Sorry, but you are sounding just as hyper sensitive as you are claiming they are.

Yes, fools who've sold 40 million+ SBCs and completely revolutionised the industry, leading to countless "me too" single-board computers.

I remember before the Pi a typical ARM system on board like the Pi would cost hundreds, have buggy drivers and limited support and be twice the size.

They are clearly clueless idiots, not an idea.

I stand by my statement.  They revolutionised the SBC industry.
