its what they were told to buy... those things are like $600. this is the 2026 version of people buying the Start9 and Umbrel pre-built nodes. lol just noticed who you quoted

I had to buy one for work. Yes I died inside and left that job asap.

Only reason that comes to mind: They want their bot to appear as normal as possible to all webpages so they don't trigger anti bot measures. They are also probably US people and have way more money left over then anybody else ..
