Yeah, there were ways to get them if you had to have them, but I wasn't committed enough to keep up with checking and paying a premium. The reality is that I have more older ones than I use already, along with multiple other devices that could be used as servers if I had a use for everything.
It's really just because I have a silly need to buy tech for no reason (and yes, I bought one when I got the email).
Me too, I have three of them now plus an old chromebook that I rooted and installed linux on when the price of a PI was skyhigh during the pandemic. The chromebook set me back $40. Installing PeppermintOS on it was pretty easy.
