Software has also improved. Micropython is surprisingly good even on micro controllers.

It seems so wrong to use python in embedded but I know that's me being a turd sandwich.

But I do have to admit, arduinos and rpi zeros are in the same price point. I don't blame people not needing analog for going rpi even when it is gross overkill.

I'm just a minimalist. If I can do my project with 16kb of RAM, I'm not going to throw a GB at it.

That all said... This article is silly. No raspberry pis aren't popping or something. The biggest complaint I think most people have with them is you can't buy them anywhere. Constantly sold out. I would have bought two or three this year otherwise...

MicroPython is not really the same thing. It’s most comparable to an embedded Forth, which isn’t uncommon.
