You're half right. They'll lose a number, but it won't be significant. I have no doubt that their analysis showed that the savings that would be reaped from moving production off shore will outweigh the loss in sales from "pros" and "serious amateurs" who will go elsewhere. Remember, their job is not to make the best tool possible, nor is it to "take care of their workers," it is to maximize profits in order to increase their dividends, while doing so in a legal and, hopefully, ethical manner. That's what business is all about.
