RP2040 is pretty underwhelming as a microcontroller. Its sleep mode draws 0.8 mA. And the ADC has DNL issues [1]
Capabilities-wise it feels like "NIH syndrome" ESP32-alike with USB in lieu of wireless.
At least it's much cheaper than Arduino (like 2-3x compared to Uno). The price of Arduino Uno is not justified by anything when its NRE cost must have been recouped long ago.
