While I agree... it has been much better supported than the alternatives. I've tried several other SBCs and they have all had issues that I didn't experience with the RPi. Not that RPi hasn't had issues of its' own. Namely in power requirements, the USB-C in physical but not electronic sense for power, to overloading most USB power supplies in practical use in Pi 4B models.
I switched to the cheaper Intel mini pcs when RPi supplies were short, and scalping made it much more expensive. A whole PC with more ram, case, psu and faster storage that was faster for under $200 vs $150+ for an 8GB RPi 4 board only was a no brainer.
