I wish the lessons of OP's reality check were better established in our industry's collective consciousness. Pis are great, but I can't count how many times I've seen a raspberry pi stuck in an application where its strengths have no value and its limitations have severe consequences. The "$100/hr developer waiting for a $5 computer to finish being slow" is a classic. Bonus points for "laggy $5 kiosk in a $1MM expo outing." The most damage probably comes from semi-permanent customer-facing installs where the pi gets to inflict misery on every person passing through. Articles like this help "responsibly consume" the raspberry pi, and that's something we can all benefit from.
