> The object of the charity is to further the advancement of education of adults and children, particularly in the field of Computers, Computer Science and related subjects

That is the purpose of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the registered charity in the UK.

I'm not sure how that fits with having so many non-educational customers.

Haha, that's a good one. The market for Pis is the industry since long time ago.

This is not the point of the raspberry pi. It is to provide a very cheap computer for companies so that they can access more money.

Phones fill this niche in the third world.

Phones are pure consumption devices. You can't make apps for phones on phones.
