Solved by seanondemand,
I did some buying in a relatively small market (Canada) in a different consumer good but the same principles apply. If i’m the owner of Portugal’s primary asrock distributor, this year asrock’s going to show me the 2025 catalogue and I have to decide how many of which SKU I’m going to buy from asrock, so they can manufacture them. I’m not going to buy everything - I’m in a small market and I don’t want a bunch of niche items collecting dust in a corner of my warehouse, that I’ll have to either sell at an extreme discount, or scrap. So small markets get stuck with the most popular of a manufacturer’s SKUs, and none of the really cool and cutting edge, but ultimately niche items.
