> If you honestly get hung up that LibreOffice doesn’t look like it was developed by Apple within the last 5 years then you are ultimately being disingenuous

Disingenuous? More like realistic.

More config options means more to test and support, so more cost. The manufacturers who are buying lower end motherboards/chipsets at scale don’t need the feature. And virtually no consumer installs a PCI-E device, ever.

So basically, it’s an argument to make all computers more expensive, in order to subsidize hobbyists.

Quantitatively, marijuana smoke is less carcinogenic than tobacco smoke.

> Isn't your gripe with the Qatari government then rather than the airline?

It’s an absolute dictatorship. The government and the airline are the same thing.
