Your words would carry more weight if you actually designed, manufactured and sold these devices at scale but alas you don't so I will default to the people actually in the industry creating, iterating and innovating on these [STRIKE]phones[/STRIKE] personal computers.

Just think, some houses cost £10,000s to make and people are paying far more than that for them. What a waste! And apparently, chocolate companies aren't selling their products for cost price either. Oh the humanity.
