Possibly, although covid seems to be a convenient scapegoat for almost any problem these days.
Here many manufacturers, growers, wholesalers, and retailers blatantly increase prices and blame covid even after it being proved that this is not the case. Greed will wear any hat even if it doesn't fit.
Recall too the Kali fiasco was several years prior even to the existence of Covid and the same lack of attention was given by Allo.
Speculate all you want but the fact is that post Pandemic, Allo products are gone from distributors, and engineering and support are also gone.
Thats a huge loss for all of us because it means fewer choices.
Sad news.
I suppose this is a side effect of us all having got used to our streaming system improving every three months. I've we'd spent a four figure sum on a streamer from NAIM or the like, then we'd be quite happy to be stuck with the same software as it shipped with however many years ago. To upgrade to their latest would mean buying a new device usually.
It is a shame to see that Allo appear to have folded completely however, even if using their products might have meant accepting the software versions they shipped with.
