Probably because of the RAM lockdown thing, their firmware blocks unauthorized RAM components. They say it’s because scammers bought pis, replaced the ram with a shitty alternative and resold them. The non-malicious tinkerers and repair-enthusiasts obviously hate this for good reason.

That is stupid. All they needed to do, instead of making that draconian thing, was to print the RAM amount (in big, bold letters and numbers) on the PCB itself. If a Raspberry Pi owner complains to the RPi people about their board having some funny RAM issue, they could ask, "What's the RAM amount printed on your board?", the owner could tell the RPi person, and they could easily figure out if the RAM was tampered with.

Sorry to be that guy but the words "I love you" are used in toxic relationships more often than in wholesome ones.

If you need confirmation several times a day that someone still "loves" you then maybe re-evaluate what love really means to you.
