I looked at ready made piKVMs recently and they were 2-6x the price of this, so it has that going for it at least!

Price, build quality (with a more narrow feature set), and completely different software stack (for better or for worse), Golang on BusyBox Linux.

But price is probably the number one driver. Note that BuildJet is a YC startup.

Aside: I see you're using Ventoy. I'm wary about the supply-chain security there. Check out this GH issue. Be safe.

GLIM is a great alternative.

I've only been using it on my test machines (none of which persist for more than a few days or a week or two of testing), but that is concerning. Might go back to just having a few different usb sticks.
