Adafruit is headquartered in New York and selling raspberry pi is a big part of their business. Reading this as self absorbed or entitled is disingenuous. They're worried about their business & asking why these brand names are singled out is a legitimate question.

You know, dynamite is a brand name. Sometimes for security's sake it's easier to call something what everybody calls it.

Small-scale user programmable portable radios does not convey what Flipper Zero does.

Literally not a single prospective RPi customer would have even known Mamdani banned them from his inauguration party if Adafruit hadn't gone out of their way to point it out. And literally not a single one of those prospective customers would have cared, similarly to how nobody cares that "strollers" are also banned.

This is the stupidest thing to get mock-offended by.
