That's actually a quite common misunderstanding, as part of the RoHS thing that was introduced many moons ago, big
manufacturers aren't allowed to use leaded solder in the making of PCBs and electricals, but us hobbyists, DIYers and small-scale manufacturers (like bigclivedotcom) are allowed to use good ol' 60/40, because it works and doesn't cause tin whiskers that kill modern electronics prematurely, and the irony is, the RoHS was intended to reduce e-waste and toxic materials ending up in landfill, except tin solder has increased e-waste and made things a whole lot worse, epic fail...
There are some exceptions though, such as medical or military grade equipment where tin solder is unacceptable due to the well-known failure rates, and some manufacturers can use leaded solder in their products as long as they don't claim they're RoHS-compliant and are "mission critical", meaning it'd cost a lot of money to keep replacing failed parts due to crappy solder causing unnecessary downtime...
But that said, electronics manufacturers (from cheap freeview boxes to high-end computers) LOVE tin solder, because it causes premature failure as that means people will be buying new replacements every couple of years so keeps them in profit...
