  You are not serious, aren't you? You have Raspberry Pi for that purpose. It's like saying Mercedes should allow me to install software on my Mercedes so I can use my $200k car to use it as a tractor.

    Since when does Raspberry Pi ship with a 4:3 Retina display? Does the Mercedes self-brick after 7 years?

      You don't need a retina display for those things, thus proving my point. It's a waste of resources. I have an iPad mini 2 and Air 2, which still work after almost a decade of use.

        Customers who paid for a Retina display can apply their hardware to use cases which fall in the simplistic market segmentation between headless SBC and slate. The utility of a working Retina display need not be limited by unsupported and insecure software when connected to public networks.
