We were so close to seeing another gaming handheld ship with Linux out of the box that isn't the Steam Deck, but it seems AYANEO with the AYANEO NEXT LITE weren't convinced enough and so they've changed their minds.
I don’t think there’s need for conspiracy theory: these people simply don’t have the knowledge to manage a distribution, even when sticking to a well set distro standard (such as Debian or Ubuntu). Here’s what did happen:

switching on Windows because they think this solve their issues
45633th problem on Windows: “damn… what we are doing wrong?”
