I'd be interested if anyone has details.
It may be that the other cloud providers would then sell them to those individuals. Indeed, the job of entities called "distributors" to buy big lots from manufacturers and break them up.
And of course, I don't know what the point of (apparently) keeping them out of the average person's hand would be.
