Why would you use Pi’s at production scale? Surely there must be better (cheaper, right-sized, readily available) purpose-built ARM SBCs.

If not the 4b there are half a dozen cheaper RPi systems that are way more power efficient and capable for this use case.
Imo Raspberry Pi may have shot itself in the foot trying to make bank by overselling the 4B to business customers who didn’t need them which exacerbated their shortage for people who DID need them.

The Raspberry Pi Trading Ltd. literally generates most of its income via companies using Raspberries in production. The dual HDMI ports on the RPi 4 are just the first time they openly acknowledged that (two monitors for digital signage).

Pi’s in production is becoming much more common these days.
