OpenWRT-on-whatever-with-dual-eth-as-a-home-gateway gained a lot of popularity in China during the last two years. Besides the usual hobbyist use cases, it is particularly useful in China as people run VPN or those bizarre transparent proxies on them for getting around GFW. There are enough copy-paste ready tutorials that even "power users" are tempted to try doing so.

Currently the most popular "whatever" is $100 mini PCs, but <$40 SBCs have a significant price advantage.
