You are correct that the pivot to industry is not particularly fairly to the rest of the user base. Not only that, but it was not very sound business-wise either. RPi's stable, rock-bottom, "cost-plus" pricing policy is great for the educational market, but not particularly compatible with B2B, where you want to be raising your prices as long as the customer is happy to pay. Not only is it a healthier way to run a B2B business, but it would also address the current demand/supply problems in a fairer way. But you couldn't do this without turning your back on the historical user base!
