I worked at a billion-dollar corporation that wouldn't let me buy a $3000 Keysight oscilloscope.

They bought 4 Rigols instead.

When I worked at a TV station, I could condemn a "end of life" PA tube in one of the transmitters, replace it with a new one costing $A12000, but I had to get permission for an issue of $A100 from Petty Cash!

What is the difference then?

Anyway good that you make this public. I hope this backfires accordingly.

EMC, probably.

A product which is "for personal, domestic or household use" must meet class B emissions, so as not to interfere with TV and radio reception in a residential area.

Products for professional / industrial use only need to meet class A.

First, they endorsed that case modded liquid cooled RGB oscilloscope atrocity for maker cred or whatever was it that they were thinking. Now this. Seems schizophrenic to me.
