Going public will fuck them up. Every corporate move will be tied to the stock. It will inevitably destroy them.
Which, at this point, I’m here for. Although I do miss the days when they were a force for good. Or at least nerds. Ah well. Sayonara, you insulting bastards.
For the price you can by a pretty competent n100 based mini PC which beats the hell out of the pi for a lot of tasks. Makers can get a cheaper solution via esp32 or clones… so what real market is there for it?
Pi isn’t dead but the IPO would be a hail mary for funding while they figure out how not to go bankrupt.

A couple years of not being able to buy them anywhere close to MSRP did enough damage I guess. Plus it exposed people to some alternatives.
