And let me tell you why: Because vendors of these products don't want to spend the money, time, effort, and marketing to have to develop two different product lines.
I am definately in the "
Do Not Converge" category. I have lots of valid justifications for keeping my devices separate, in addition to the obvious ones mentioned above.
If this is the way "The Market" is going (as defined by the vendors, not the customers), then I'm going to rapidly find another market to support. I'm not alone in this either, so there
will be a dent in the profit margins of companies who don't take the customers into account when making these decisions.
