There are cases when providing service for remaining 2% isn't profitable. It's better just say "sorry".
I used to work in company where we have spent a lot of time making custom fixes for our software in order to work-around wired hardware/software bugs on machines of individual customers. Yes, we provided service for remaining 2% or so, but in cost of slowing-down overall product development and not making our product better for remaining 98%.

- Panzerschrek 3mo agoPublic infrastructure is different. It should work for everyone. My argument is more about commercial products with profitability kept in mind.
