My question in these cases always ends up being how these one off, specialised designs end up not being full of bugs. I mean enterprise servers from tier 1 vendors trail years and years behind gaming desktops in what they ship, allegedly for stability and QA, and yet every new model is followed up by either BIOS or CPU microcode updates to deal with massive, showstopping bugs.
