Does anyone else feel betrayed by the RPi Foundation?

Post by /RaspberryPi »

The supply chain shortage is a thing. I get it. I remember reading an article saying that the Foundation was going to focus on commercial buyers though.
Does anyone else feel betrayed that the Foundation, which was built on providing a cheap board to hobbyists and the educational sector, has "sold out"?
I was chatting with a high schooler a couple days ago, and they can't even get a hold of the RPi.
Abandon me, a hobbyist, what about educational sector? Why are commercial sales taking priority over educational?
I might not know the whole story, but I've been feeling the frustration about this recently.
