Backer Kits offered imaged Sd cards?

Why is it that the Backers had the choice to purchase imaged SD cards and we have to do that ourselves.

Yeah, why would anyone want to buy a sd card with a several months old alpha version of an OS when you can make your own in just a few minutes using the latest available version?

Honestly, I'm not sure if a board like this is suitable for someone who can't or don't want to make their own sd cards. The only advantage with ready-made cards I can think of is that it's plug and play OOTB, you shouldn't have to worry about your card being corrupt. Otherwise you're paying a premium for a no-name card with unknown specifications.
