I was comparing it to a Heathkit versus a pre-built PC, suggesting that there's a nascent industry of a lower barrier to entry for the sbc/Arduino hobbyist market forming in the same way that the microcomputer world of 1977 was a way way different than 1974 - you could just buy a thing and plug it in - no assembly code or assembling parts required.

It's an interesting marketing play. I wasn't suggesting people go out and make it themselves instead. Do it if you want. Buy the thing if you want. Whatever
