This is the true story here. How does putting tariffs on parts that hackers/innovators use to prototype new products help the American people? If you don't have enough funding, and a large enough customer base to get your electronics manufactured offshore, you get hurt by the tariffs.

I feel like China may welcome this with open arms, bolster their own manufacturing by cutting out DIY'ers.

Who said tariffs were supposed to help hackers / innovators? It is to protect manufacturers.
