How about Renesas then? Pretty much the same business model, except, and I 
speak from experience here, users can actually reach out to their developers 
when they encounter an issue.
I was able to have a technical discussion, with their developers, fairly 
easily, with regards to an issue we had with regards to root hubs not being 
listed through Renesas hardware.

Some companies __get__ customer care. Other don't. It's just not a buzz word to 
throw around.
Final users are your customers, always. If you do everything in your power so 
that your developers never hear from them, then __I__ will be reluctant to use 
your hardware or software, and, what's more, I will not shy away from 
encouraging others not to do either, because endorsing the practice of ignoring 
end users or having them jump through hoops in order to speak to a physical 
person with the capability to help is not doing anybody any favour, including 
the company itself.

In the age of the Internet, and as consumers and users, we have the power to 
render that one sided practice obsolete. Let's.
