We were so close to seeing another gaming handheld ship with Linux out of the box that isn't the Steam Deck, but it seems AYANEO with the AYANEO NEXT LITE weren't convinced enough and so they've changed their minds.
I don’t think there’s need for conspiracy theory: these people simply don’t have the knowledge to manage a distribution, even when sticking to a well set distro standard (such as Debian or Ubuntu). Here’s what did happen:
1st problem on Linux: “damn, Linux doesn’t work”
switching on Windows because they think this solve their issues
45633th problem on Windows: “damn… what we are doing wrong?”
Because it needs to be updated. They can safely rely on community work if they don’t make anything exotic with hardware/driver and customized UI/repositories.
Anything “new” you include in the basic distro of your device… needs to be maintained somehow.

Why would they need to?

It is community work. It’s HoloISO.
