No argument here. Just like the lack of widespread software projects based on this board, I interpret the availability of the board itself as sign that it has never been in high demand. Who knows how many are lying on distributors' shelves?
Eben Upton claims Raspberry Pi factories are cranking out approximately 500K SBC and Compute Modules a month and that this is more or less enough to satisfy demand from commercial and industrial customers. As anyone else trying to buy one knows, few units are leaking into retail channels. I'd love to see a tally of the backorders that are accumulating at their authorized resellers. It seem like it must be huge.
Meanwhile, paraphrasing Descartes, I tinker, therefore I am
