I guess they made their money in the areas where they offered reliable equipment for the non-connoisseur in an era where electronics was still black magic. Remember, it was first Tandy Corporation a leather and hobby supply company, if I remember correctly.

They're not Tandy anymore. They were purchased by one company that runs one of those mega-chains (maybe FutureShop), but they kept the separate name. This is why they are marketing third party brands now.
Yeah I wasn't disagreeing with you
