Plus software seems to be dropping 32bit support. While I usually appreciate the benefits of 64 bit architecture, that’s uncalled for on most of the things I’d use RPi for
Comment on Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So

Hasn’t been for years now. I appreciate the extra oomph and definitely the extra RAM, but so many projects need a Pi3 level of oomph and price point.
They don’t make those any more, and the new ones are too expensive, so just can’t do those projects any more.

They do still make Pi3, they guarantee availability for a decade for each model and there’s still over 3 years to go until Pi 3 hits that.

Pi 4 has over twice the performance per watt (see the-diy-life.com/raspberry-pi-drag-race-pi-1-to-p…), so I think that may be the sweet spot for certain uses, but I agree that the 3 is still a perfectly capable device for so many projects.
Also the 3 is the last one to have a full HDMI port which is makes it really appealing for display related projects.
