These are some really great points for when it can be better to use microcontrollers over microprocessors/applications processors. Agree that generally simpler is better, and microcontrollers are simpler than Linux SoCs for many things (maybe not in getting from zero to main(), but after that). I would add that it really depends on the problem you're trying to solve, though. Microcontrollers are disadvantaged compared to Linux SoCs for many workloads other than low power and low latency (i.e. hard and soft realtime).
