So, why isn't selling cheap pfsense devices on eBay part of the solution to avoiding vendor spying? Because you also sell pfSense hardware and it's more expensive?

because that's the revenue we use to pay the developers.

I'm not sure what you mean by "vendor spying". Perhaps this is a reference to the FCC-required controls for 802.11 devices.
