Indeed. It's a loss-leader.
The aim is to pull in real people with single sales, both to grow their community and support further sales down the line of more powerful hardware.
Bulk selling these to industry for [near]-disposable application doesn't help the organisation or its aims. It also forces them up another rung of production capacity and warehousing, which is a serious expense.
