My opinion:
A hobbyist board is populated by like minded enthusiasts; searching for assistance, advice or guidance, sharing their enthusiasm as well as projects, bringing support and assistance to others while participating and contributing to the community in a positive manner......
versus
A commercial enterprise using the board purely for business reasons such as airing grievances or marketing products (some might say Magnus).......
This is not to say you can not do both, example; Wayne from Pelican, Dave from TRE, the gents from Unobtanium-inc. Based upon my dealings, these are Professionals, who are also enthusiasts that give back to the hobby not just benefit from the hobby.
Again: my opinion.
