I don't think that's necessarily correct. You can't even order a Librem 5 if you want it right now because of silicon shortages. You can purchase a Pinephone. Ignoring that, the price differential is insane (and I doubt people who would consider the Librem 5 USA are really saying "yes" or "no" based solely on the merit of the phone).

I think it's one thing to recognize that Purism is providing patches, but that doesn't translate to a device people can and want to purchase.
