Serious thought, Ledger has already made it 100% clear that they don't care about their customers. They are not even trying to hide it. But they are selling a ton of devices. So, the question is WHAT are they doing that other manufacturers are not? And if the other manufacturers do the same will they pull sales from Ledger? And if not why not? This is something we should be discussing. I have my own thoughts, but I am interested in what other people think.
It's also a developer's duty (in my opinion) to consider the device's capabilities that the software is made to run on. If you have to develop software for an extremely limited embedded device, that should allow users to install extra stuff onto it, you better focus on actually leaving them space to do so.
A bit of snark.

n0nce this is reality, reality this is n0nce apparently you never met each other yet :-)
I have been playing with PCs and tech since the mid 1980s, been actively in the IT support world since the late 1980s
From PCs, embedded devices and the like all the way up to full big iron servers developers have always been trying to see how much the hardware can handle then going beyond what it can do. Adding features at the sacrifice of things working properly. I dislike Ledger and the way that they do things. But it's been going on for more then 30 years that I can prove so I would guess it's been going on much longer then that.
