Define "small" - cost of physical dimensions, independence of operation, or cost of near-zero usage. For example, S3 and Lambda are basically free for usage with near-zero traffic, but of course you give up independence.
Arguably more important than microcontroller scale, these days, is whether it runs well on Android. The cost of manufacturing custom hardware is enormous, but piggybacking off the Android ecosystem can often eliminate most of the need for custom hardware. Of course, Android is a very different target than Linux...

I think it all depends on what you're doing. > For example, S3 and Lambda are basically free for usage with near-zero traffic Just to build on this a little bit, even this has limits: if your operating environment has extremely lower power availability (so, low available bandwidth), maybe S3 has too much data transfer overhead!
