Aside from that, sadly a lot of people (including myself) are kind of fed up with Raspberry Pi, after they essentially abandoned their mission during Covid to please corporations

Just out of curiosity, could you state what you think their mission was?

(I'm just wondering if anybody even remembers their original original mission.)

AFAIK their original mission was along the lines of making computers accessible at a low price point, particularly targeting the education sector in parts of the world where computers weren't very accessible or affordable. Comparable to the OLPC, but not on an individual basis

I could be wrong though

Remember when they donated one pi for every one sold?

That's basically it. Here's the thing: if they followed through on that to the letter, most of the people complaining wouldn't have ever gotten one.
