Your point is well taken. There's nothing to say that Sharism could not manufacture and distribute a Ya NN assuming there were resources to get it designed. Werner estimates $250K give or take to go from concept to ready for mass production.
On the other hand, in six months when one can buy a Raspberry Pi for $50 or less, the universe of potential NanoNote purchasers will likely shrink. --- Ron K.
