And most of the people buying calculators do it because they are required to do so and couldn't care less.

This much is true, I believe. Your average student views a calculator as a simple necessity only because it has been called for by their teacher. The actual requirements of a school / standardized test calculator seem to be pretty minimal aside from a flashing light on the outside.

But people can do something about it, and that has to do with the other underlying assumption: that only those companies can make stuff.

This much obvious now: The next really great RPL / RPN calculator will not be made by a giant multibillion dollar company with tens of thousands of employees. In many sectors the drive for the largest market and profit margin has left the consumer with many choices, but very little in the way of satisfactory products. Smaller companies don't have to have the *highest* profit margin or the *largest* segment of the market in order to prosper - they just need a sustainable business.
