FYI - selling the prototype (LMG were aware this was a one of a kind proto) ensures that no other reviewer can have an easier time installing on the right hardware, no one can ever prove Linus wrong because the part is gone and they won’t say to who…

Considering that it was also auctioned at an event where competitor companies were present, they could have well auctioned off the company's prototype to a competitor of theirs, which would have been the worst case scenario for Billet. (I don't think it ultimately happened that way, but that was a real risk in the auction).
