That's a weird hill to die on, since they're explicitly marketing and selling these cards with "LHR" branding and NOT discontinuing other non-LHR product lines. These are cards specifically for folks who don't use the features which are throttled. If they were doing this across the board, that's one thing. But they're not. If it means lower costs or increased availability for consumers who want them, that's a win. Moreover, they're not disabling anything, they're throttling. One or two GPUs are hardly going to mint you a fortune in ETH in the first place. The difference in hash rates is not affecting anyone who meaningfully cares about general purpose computing. Nobody is switching their industrial mining rig over to play Dota. They've throttled an extremely niche use case which makes the cards more broadly available to the public instead of a very specific single-purpose industry: that hardly seems like an attack on general purpose computing.
