> This is my job. I design consumer electronics that ship in volumes larger than the raspberry pi. You've probably used something I've designed before. Fair enough. Thanks for your explanation. > The pi designers aren't incompetent, they've probably rolled up dozens of feature BOMs to find what they can afford to ship. That's a borderline straw man argument. You're seem to be implying that I either wrote (or think) that they are incompetent, while none of those things are true. > Now, I wouldn't be surprised if it was 50c instead of 1$, but _nothing_ is 5-10c, so you're off by an order of magnitude. Okay, let's say it's 50 cents. I would still think it makes sense to include this feature. Also, that's "half a magnitude off" compared to 10 cents, not a magnitude off.
