You've got it. Basically, claiming that BYTE went to "the dark side" implies that they abandoned one group of readers to chase after a new group of readers. But this misses the reality. BYTE started out as a "hobbyist" magazine because when it started, that was the only way an ordinary person could have a computer. Things changed. The technology advanced. The IBM PC and its clones offered 80 columns, lower-case, a standard floppy-disk format, and up to 640K of RAM in a nice neat package. And the people who just wanted a computer to make use of outnumbered those who were hobbyists for the sake of tinkering.
