There's a substantial audience for SBCs as Multimedia PCs, Emulation consoles, and even as a primary desktop. The RPi interface has effectively become a peripheral standard for all the different case/input/etc hats it can wear. (RetroFlag makes great use of this). With a low price point and reasonably decent performance, why wouldn't they have such an audience? So yes, that the Orange Pi struggles to watch YouTube videos, scroll through web pages, et al is an important concern. It sounds like driver support just isn't there for the hardware it provides. I'd hazard to say, on HN no less, that SBCs as tinker boards for robotics and cybernetics projects are the minority use-case.
