I was going to write something similar, but this covers it pretty well actually. Hopefully there could be some more developer support in the future again like the community editions once were.
I am glad to see a growing chorus of people voicing similar concerns, which myself and others have long held. The article links to a similar article from Drew DeVault for instance (down at the bottom).
Perhaps if nothing changes after a while, it might become time to add your voice to the other public pleas. Or maybe speak to PINE64 directly/privately (I don't know how well you know them).
