How can the Pi be dragging down the industry that it created and is still dominating by a hefty margin? People already have plenty of alternatives but somehow their price/performance ratio renders them to obscurity. Perhaps that must mean something.
- oarsinsync 8y agoA small player in an industry doesn't have the volume to drag down the industry, only the dominant player does. The dominant player in this instance is insisting on using chipsets that are effectively obsolete when compared to the competition. As a result, the community that they command continues to work on supporting this obsolete hardware, rather than newer hardware. Network effects exist here just like in many other industries.
