The Pi Foundation accidentally stumbled on their true purpose in the marketplace - inexpensive, well supported and easy to build around industrial computers. They have admitted that since the pandemic they have prioritized production for B2B customers. The education/hobbyist market has completely fallen off, so personally I'm moving to x86 variants. The UP 4000 would be an almost perfect replacement but the processors being many years old is unfortunate - if UP would switch to Jasper/Elkhart Lake variants it would be a huge bump in compute in the same package. Odroid H3+ is a nice alternative too. Otherwise NUCs or old 1L Dell/Lenovos seem like the next most popular replacement.
