More config options means more to test and support, so more cost. The manufacturers who are buying lower end motherboards/chipsets at scale don’t need the feature. And virtually no consumer installs a PCI-E device, ever. So basically

Fuck this article. If city council had some nuts, they'd just deny Dolan his permits, and he'd be up shit's creek. All this blather about any eventual resolution needing to make him whole or happy is pure throne sniffing.
