Yeah thats completely fair. I love the small cute form factor. I think there is also a social aspect to it, with communities that are going to form around it, similar to how they did around steam deck.

Doing it yourself would mean visiting one of those build your own pc forums for help, and I think most people would rather kill themselves.

I hate big corporations as next guy, but 80-90% of video games sales today are digital sales. See sources below. To me it seems like an example of people preaching one thing, that they want physical media, and the vast majority silently doing the opposite, because it's more convenient. Isn't this at least partly our own fault?

Have you noticed this phenomena on social media (programming.dev)
 

Every time I search something like “Why is X bad?” on reddit or other forums, the majority of comments is always people arguing the exact opposite. This has been my experience countless times over the years. Recently I started searching the opposite of what I want to know, like “Why is X good?”, and it works flawlessly.

These leaders don't operate in a vacuum. Majority of hungarians are very conservative and addressing LGBT issues would make it harder for him to get elected.
