I suspect the issue is not the cheapness, but the fact that you get the source code and can see what is going on under the hood with your operating system.

My first IT job involved running the burster and decollater; moved up eventually to the plug boards on the card sorter. 10 years later I went to CDC and started bit banging for real.......those were the days my friend.
