Most cannot afford to build their own and are at the mercy of ODM/MFG capacity.

Most cannot afford to command a large volume order of units, so they cannot get any discount on the prosu tioj cost and the sticker price of building their supply chain and distribution.

And nobody can get discounts on RAM. Not Valve. Not Apple.

The thing is, if we just keep writing the existing Supply of used Hardware from the evil empire company in 3 years time who do you think will still be available to spin up a project like this?

Doing the right thing is going to cost a premium AND if you don't do it soon the option may be off the table permanently.
