“special people”
I assume they mean experts in that specific field, i.e. people whose job it is to put on firework shows. It’s not that there’s one specific group of people who can buy a lot more, but that there are some things that we should only allow experts to buy.
It’s possible that I’m not familiar enough with it, but in my experience OpenSCAD makes the vast majority of projects take way longer compared to non-scripting-based CAD software. I learned Onshape for a class and haven’t used OSCAD since. (though it definitely still has some niche uses)
