Remember when they said the Rpi3 had 1Gbps speeds. That's when they started to lose me. Pine64 has had a far better competing board going back to the Rpi3, and they don't use scummy marketing practices like the Pi Foundation.
Yes, Pine64 is absolutely an organization that adheres to their stated ethos. They are what the Pi foundation should have been, but only pretends to be.
I dunno about ethos, but I do know Pine can also make false claims. I bought a Rock64 years back and they touted it as 4k60 video capable with an integrated GPU and that wasn't realistic at all. The software stack was still very immature on release. From their own wiki, years later, it still doesn't work and key parts still haven't been upstreamed.
Libre computer is pretty good too. I'm a big fan of the Libre computer renegade
