I cannot name a single person who has bought a RPi that isn't either a generously-compensated STEM worker or a member of their immediate family.
I also cannot name a single person who has bought an RPi that doesn't already own a mid-to-high-end desktop or laptop.
Poor people buy used smartphones or refurbed ex-office PCs.
EDIT: This probably explains why there's a strong scalper's market for this, thinking about it. Raspberry Pi's typical customers are wealthy enough to not care about paying an extra few bucks.
