The problem - as always - with all the clones is that their ecosystems are either immature or are complete crap. Most of the Rockchip knockoffs are technically superior at a better price point, and most importantly, available for purchase, but their websites are hacked-together Chinese clones with broken downloads, non-verifiable server OSes, and zero documentation.

RPi has a foothold primarily due to the community and software support. I'd love to see that get broken up, but building that took years, which is not what most fly-by-night places and clone shops are interested in doing. I say this as someone who largely depends on RPi 3 and 4 models for embedded work and would prefer to switch to something like oDroid (and we have to some degree), not necessarily as someone who is an RPi lover.

I hope that the foundation's supply is for real and the pricing gets down to normal market rates.
