I guess it's not easy to even get your hands on it. Likely pretty low volume.
What kills it for the home and small business use is that it's MIPS. Just not worth saving 50 or so dollars of AMD / Intel premium for this trouble. As I understand, this CPU doesn't have an iGPU which makes it an even worse deal.
I have been trying to get my hands on one of these (in Australia) for about 2 months now but no luck. Tempted to give Ali Express a try on this.

2 minor gripes! 1. Not MIPS, LoongISA, there are working Binary translators already, and they're commobly used in government office work! 2. They do have an iGPU, refer to Geekerwan's video!
Otherwise agree though, they're unlikely to go international at this point!
