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.

But that was not Keysight's fault  >:D

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.
