Are they selling out? Probably if we are honest.
But if we are honest. We also have to accept that an organisation is sorta forced to think competitively.
We have seen pie and pretty much every other electronics manufacturer has had huge issues with component supply's.
It is simply a fact. When 2 organisations both want the same items. The corperation selling them. Will favour the org spending the most and buying most reliably.
This will lead to even charitable orgs having to make choices based on increasing demand and supply. Rather then their goals.
The simple fact that commercial users want to buy more of an item then hobby users. Will force an org that wants to compete in the supply market place. To favour them.
