This effect plays around again and again. Someone makes something for the public good, and corporations show up and take advantage of it. Basically the story of FOSS too, when you think about it.

They launched the compute module which was intended for industrial use a mere two years after the first Pi.

The corporations are paying for the product. The pi foundation could invest that in to making more and developing the product further.
