The majority of arduino hardware, software and community development is now outside the "official" Arduino project. We definitely owe them a debt of gratitude, but the framework has moved on.
Every major microcontroller vendor now has development boards that have the standard Arduino Uno pinout so you can add cheap "shields" for prototyping. There are entire companies like M5Stack, SeeedStudio and LilyGo whose business model is providing high-integration platforms (CPU, touchscreen, I/O and sometimes an enclosure) that use the arduino framework but run on 32-bit chips instead. And so on.
These days, when you say "arduino" you're almost always referring to a framework and a hardware abstraction layer, instead of the Arduino company itself (sorry, mbanzi).
