> Raspberry Pi pulled a Henry Ford and boldly went with just one microcontroller... In return, Raspberry Pi ensured that everyone on the planet works with the same part. Compared to more traditional wide lineups, there is a disproportionate number of StackExchange questions, blog posts (including this one), experience, Github issues, libraries, and tools for the RP2040. I'm not personally convinced. Most of the ESP32 series is cross-compatible (at least for the shared pinout counts). I'd argue the brand recognition and marketing to hobbyists is more likely what brought the "community" around the RP2040.
