Maybe you should assemble and sell node specific hardware? Pretty sure many bitcoiners would be interested.
What could go wrong?
Being added to list or being supply chain attacked?
More likely just throwing money out the window, if only for global shipping.

Then maybe a detailed guide on how to do this? Could be added to bitcoiner.guide or smth.
But even then, we can't expect mass adoption (with self-custody and personal nodes) to occur if everyone has to build their own node from scratch.

What are other "trash companies" and why is Swan considered one of them? KYC stuff?

As long as places stay bitcoin only (I'm looking at you Casa), I feel they are still doing more help than harm. Have to use the current rails to orange pill as many people as possible. I'm more than happy to keep burning my inflated fiat dollars and getting bitcoin in return.

Some stacker is doing that already in the US. But Umbrel and Start9 are essentially doing that now.
