This is spot on. I mention in the post and the video it's an expensive board, and very specialist.
The target audience is basically 'person who wants ARM64 PCI Express development board', and even there, some of the PCI Express implementation on the Pi's BCM2711 is... weird. Therefore some devices have had a hard time getting drivers going on the Pi (case in point: graphics cards and Coral TPUs I've tested). I plan on testing Radxa's CM3 and Pine64's SOQuartz too.
I think some people still want a cheap(ish) CM4 motherboard that just has one x16 slot, front panel headers, and maybe a 24-pin ATX power supply connector. I think that could be made for under $100 and would also solve a lot of needs for debugging purposes.
