It's more than that: This whole device with 802.3cg and PoDL as a side-feature, but oh by the way it has a whole CPU and radios and eMMC and stuff, is cheaper than most 802.3cg dev boards that're just the MAC/PHY and you still need to glue 'em to a computer of some sort. That alone justifies it for a lot of applications, and I expect a PoDL injector to emerge from the DIY scene in a matter of days.
