They are not "off the shelf" You can't buy a rasberry Pi "off the shelf"
I bought mine off the shelf from Amazon. And I used a couple different OS's on it including OpenELEC.
You can't buy the modified Bryston board off the shelf, - it is custom. The Sim Audio mainboard is available off line. And, the Sonore & the Auralic Aries are mainboards custom built and not capable of being purchased by an end user.
So? Did I say they were? No, I said many such products DO use off the shelf motherboards. Is that incorrect?
...a PC needs much more than a mainboard before it is considered a PC/computer.
I'm not arguing that point. Where did I say anything contrary to that?
