While it's true that some of the hobby rank and file can be in the dark on some of those things, enough waves were made among those in the know who had the power to do something about it if they wanted to between 2019 and 2021 or so. In the final analysis, they didn't. As has been said on N54 before in various flavors - nobody much cares. Stuff triumphs over all.
