    I mean, they could’ve used all that engineering budget that was used in the design of the device for something like, enhancing proton

          Exactly, if you’re a hardware designer, no amount of money will turn you into a software developer within a month. A dollar of software development is not equal to a dollar of product design. That’s the mindset of shareholders. “Give me $12.99 engineering, and give it now”

      Trust me they are improving proton all on their own. Proton let’s them sell games. That is how they make money - selling games not hardware.
