Why selling through local e-shops matters (typekmatus.blogspot.com)

I was browsing Lemmy in the morning as I usually do. And I stumbled upon a post called "To all EU/Europe Open Source/Linux Enthusiasts", which is basically a philosophical post about someone proposing a plan to push Linux phones to the mainstream. But I noticed several factual errors, which is fine (please do your own research before you post something), but I also noticed one single piece of information that's missing: allowing local e-shops, like the green alien one, to resell your Linux device on their site.

Leave your thoughts on this down below.

They're run by engineers that have background in engineering and don't have this knowledge or they just did poorly their due diligence by not taking local e-shops into account. Ask Elon Musk how it was to run the entire Twitter as a company. He had to switch positions from CEO to CTO because of being tired to run both the part that does the site and infrastructure itself and also the part responsible for accounting, marketing, HR and other boring departments.

Wut?
