On the other hand, a surprising number of companies decide they don't need that kind of dcoumentation and just ship Pis, and that often works fine too. Not for things with deep hardware integration, and not for mass-scale, but plenty things just want "linux in a box with some simple peripherals".

As the person tasked with debugging one of those "linux in a box with some simple peripherals", I'm not even 100% convinced they sell them with more than the intent of the consumer turning it on once, playing with for a few minutes, then forgetting it exists.

Oh, not just talking about consumer devices: if anything, I would expect more non-consumer cases (but that could be a wrong estimation)
