Re: Profits

It's not just solely for software. It's also a known quantity in terms of people's experience and reliability. It also has a massive aftermarket of bits and bobs that make it suitable for so many things. And the community that exists to support the platform. But yes software is part of it too.

I assume all of that accounts for its popularity. There are certainly cheaper parts out there - Aliexpress is filled with Pi clones which are a bit cheaper but the flip side is you lose all of the above if you go that route.
