I have bought an rpi at every generation. And I still have yet to find an actual use for them.
Everything they do from a compute perspective is just better with a mini pc or old laptop with a mobile spec chip.
Everything they do from a programmability perspective is just better with a microcontroller specific to the task.
I just don't see the actual market position for these things. They were supposed to be a cheap board, but you can't actually buy them cheaply because the vendors upcharge so much.
