From the very start, a pi 400 with 4GB of ram was a non starter for me in 2020, and a 8GB one is the same for me in 2024. However if they had said we guarantee we will support this board for 8 years with new compute modules, I may have bought one and moved the cm4 to a different headless compute module board when I would have upgraded it. And that may have opened a market had they decided to create a standard motherboard form factor for arm cpu modules in a keyboard.
