I disagree. Maybe where you live, or even where I live, but not where 99%
of the listeners of SW live.

SDRs are overly complicated and expensive for the handful of people who are
not hams who listen to SW broadcasts and want an expensive radio.

If you want an SDR, go ahead and buy it. But don't expect people who live
in a village with a combined income less than the price of one radio to do
it. There are a lot more of them than there are of you.

However you never know, it turns out that according to a recent study,
now floating around the internet, there are more people in India with
cell phones than people who have access to a private (or any) toilet.
