  They could sidestep this entirely by shipping the boards separately and letting users assemble them. Worked fine for RS-232 terminals.

  Tariffs are good. If you have a nice mall, and you allow street vendors to walk through it selling junk, eventually the mall becomes trashy and there's no benefit to paying the rent for a proper storefront.
