If a person has any reasonable business
justification
But a lot of the people here don't; they're purely hobbyists. So spending
on a piece of test equipment just isn't realistic
for them.
Having said that, I do see some DSO's on eBay for not much money (e.g. the
little hand-held ones), and those might be a good alternative to a logic
analyzer - I never used one, so I tend not to think of them.

I haven't tried the dedicated DSO's but I have a couple of USB connected
ones and a laptop. For value for money I don't think the Hantek 6022 can be
beaten. It really only goes to 8Mhz but I see they can be had for $60 - $70
and some sellers have US stock. I also have a 200Mhz one but to be honest
for 99% of vintage stuff the Hantek is fine. It is only 8-bit, it is a bit
noisy, but its small enough to slip in the laptop bag, it doesn't need a
separate PSU...
