If you want to hand solder a Linux SoC into a hobbyist project it's generally a whole lot easier and cheaper to stick some headers on and piggyback a $5 Pi Zero or similar board.
Board layout for one of these things and the associated DRAM etc. is not exactly a trivial task either. I really don't think that the sort of person who can't be bothered to set up a toaster oven for reflow soldering is going to be able to make a functioning board using this chip.
