But you got the point nonetheless: I have a very clear idea about what I'd like to see implemented, and no scope within typical hobbyst/student pocket's range truly delivers all the package.
You are wrong here. There is no oscilloscope out there that is simply perfect. You'd need to spend tens of millions of $US dollars to have the perfect oscilloscope developed. Mere mortals end up buying several oscilloscopes; each suitable for a range of tasks. If you dig deeper you'll see that there is a surprising gap between the abilities of oscilloscopes. Like every manufacturer has it's own idea about what is really important.
That's exactly what leaves me surprised. They could easily manufacture not the perfect oscilloscope, but almost, for each price range. Of course I cannot demand to buy a 10 GHz oscilloscope with my money. But.. I mean, a noisy fan maybe doesn't bother all the potential customers, but surely bothers some, while a silent fan will make everyone happy. Same for a matte screen. For a vesa mount. And those are all things that cost near to nothing.
Other stuff might be costly, you'd argue. For example, a clean, non-noisy front end. But as we have shown before, the Owon 1022i was able to see quite clearly a 2 mVpp signal that for the MSO5000 was just random noise, or close to.
And that's a scope going by 119 eur vat included. It requires, I don't know, 20$ to manufacture it?
My whole point here is that the end users seem to have that philosophy of being happy with what falls from the sky, no matter how flawed it is. "Falls" here is a figure of speech, since these products are not cheap.
If users were a bit more demanding, the manufacturers would adjust, as our friend from R&S honestly told us. More to the point, he told us that when a certain number of customers make the manufacturer aware of design flaws, they put some real effort into adressing them.
