I agree thats the point.
there will be good priced options, of course, there will be bad priced options but typically the best price vs reliability options will get the most promotion in enthusiast forums.
acting like only people with soldering skills will utilize this is B.S which was Draxzelex's implication because your average gamer will do mental a cost to benefit analysis and if they deem the price and risk is worth the benefits they will go for it, just like they have with every other hack/mod "sailing the high seas" etc.
?....
does this mean every switch owner will... of course not
but every gamer didnt have modded 360's, pirate satellite or cable, flashcards, emulation, kodi boxes for media etc. but hundreds of thousands to millions of people have throughout the years.
which is why piracy and piracy adjacent industries (because yes i know not all people use these for piracy or they start that way and then move to more homebrew and such later etc.) are a several billion dollar a year industry.
if TX didnt think there was a market they wouldn't bother, no one is in business to loose money.
