> It blows my mind how shitty Raspberry PI foundation are to their community:
You are conflating Raspberry Pi (Trading) Ltd and Raspberry Pi Foundation.
The foundation is hardware agnostic, and even create content for 3rd party micros such as the micro:bit [1].
> prioritized industry over community, and made it almost impossible for hobbyists to get any meaningful hardware for so long
The company went through an existential crisis during the silicon shortage / pandemic. They had to make very hard decisions. The "prioritized industry" was mostly constrained to older hardware w/ larger process node sizes (Raspberry Pi 3), and compute module.
