Yep, raspberrypi, arduino and in the last few years, esp* are defacto standards just because of the great software (and library) support. Yes, STM, XYZ, CabbgePi, etc., is better, faster, has sata, has emmc storage, has more pins, less power usage, has this and that, but if I can't program it now, because of software bugs, and won't be able to program in in 5 years, because the toolchain will be abandoned by now, I really don't need it. source: I have a bunch of microcontrollers and single-board computers, collecting dust in a drawer at work.
