Why are you happy about no wifi/Bt? Genuinely curious.

  Because I have zero use for it. Components add cost and footprint. I am uncertain on if the power consumption goes up from these modules being there idling when modules/drivers are not loaded, but that could be a factor. And the less black-box non-open components on my board, the better.

    I'd wager that the addition of an additional wifi-free spec would actually increase costs. With the need for active cooling to prevent throttling, the pi4 veers much closer to an ultra-small desktop replacement and for that, the integrated wifi is better.

      Oh sure, I'm not saying it was a bad choice to put BT and WiFi on the RPi, just that I'm happy that there are hobbyist/prosumer devices in the same range without :)
