I’m not buying hardware that doesn’t suit my needs as an investment hoping maybe it eventually will.
You were misrepresenting things. Your needs have nothing to do with things not being functional. Something can be perfectly functional and not meet someones needs. Nobody said you should buy it as an investment.
My interpretation was by far the most generous to your position, because it’s the only way it’s coherent.
If people bought [this hardware that doesn’t actually provide anything anyone can realistically use at a reasonable price] it might eventually not suck. That’s treating a current purchase as an imaginary investment in maybe eventually being able to buy something useful.

You’re entitled to your opinion, I guess.

Thats misrepresenting reality and making assumptions while clearly showing lack of expertise
at a reasonable price
Thats completely arbitrary. If a price is reasonable or not depends on many factors. Obvious oversymplification.
That’s treating a current purchase as an imaginary investment in maybe eventually being able to buy something useful.
This shows that you have no idea what you are talking about. Small companies and open source projects depend on people buying their products instead of cheaper, sometimes better performing products of big conglomerates for other reasons than price alone.
What are you talking about perfection?
Buying something that doesn’t function is never rational.

Value is absolutely not arbitrary.
“Reasonable” means comparable with x86/ARM at the same performance level. Anything more is, by definition, not capable of being reasonably priced.
You’re again advocating for an imaginary investment in a bad product.
Yeah no. Forget it. We‘re not speaking the same language.
Clearly. There’s no language for sucking corporate three-letter cocks anyway.
