There are two parts of the Raspberry Pi organisation - the Foundation(a charity) and the Trading company(not a charity).

The hardware is developed sold by the non-charitable part, and recently announced that they prioritise orders from industrial customers over private ones. You cannot expect them to act like a charity - they aren't one.

The only reason the charitable foundation is able to exist at all is industrial interest, though? That seems fair.
