Everyone else is essentially middle class, so that's roughly two thirds of the population of the UK. It's more a question of outlook and aspiration than salary.

For Ruperts it's a matter of family, education and outlook. Actual wealth is irrelevant.
There are far far fewer blue collar jobs than there used to be, but a lot of blue collar jobs are very well paid.

Yes, you don't really "win" Elite Dangerous, that is true, "Pay to Progress" might be a better phrase.

If there was another in-game way of getting a tech broker in your system you could argue that the Dodec is a fancy looking Coriolis, and so effectively a cosmetic item, and as we all want ED to continue to be supported and developed I don't have a problem with cosmetics.

It's a slippery slope is what it is.
Starts off with cosmetics, then prebuilds, then early access, now permanent paywall for the Dodec. And it's not just a fancy looking station either because it's the only way to get a Tech Broker in your system.
It's becoming a bit "pay to win"

Sounds like there should be a second part to that sentence.

When my oldest sister was doing computer science at Liverpool University in the 1970s, she had to write a program by hand on paper, give it to an office where people typed it out onto punched cards, then when she got her computer time, take the stack of punched cards down to the computer room.

They have started a subscription model that doesn't sound too bad, but over time what is in the free part will decrease and what is in the paid for part will become more necessary for anything beyond basic editing. I don't know this for a fact, obviously, but watch this space......
