You can build one yourself, all the designs are open source. This is made by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, it is not about the raw power and the costs will likely be higher due to low (expected) sales

    And you see nothing wrong with packaging (poorly, IMA) a long-standing DIY hobby project as a pre-made retail product w/ shite specs and future modability, I presume? Interesting stance.

    I don’t see anything wrong with this product because the people who know this exists let alone would buy this will likely know what they’re getting and can decide if it’s worth the money to them.

    I can't tell if the problem is that you think it's false advertising, or if you think selling a custom 6502 console to someone who wants one is some kind of sin and morally bad.
