 I like the Pi for more reasons than the cost. The chips have long-term
availability guarentees, the documentation is excellent, and there are
zillions of kids out there who are familiar with the Pi culture.
 Even ignoring the 70 cent price, the RP2040 is an amazing part.
 

I agree. Being able to build a wifi connected mcrocontroller project for under £10 including PCB and case is a win for me.
