That's not true. They are just hidden.

Nice! So there is basically no reason to buy Atmega anymore (for me, at least).

The only reason is network effect.

Most "shields" and devices are tested and libraries made easily available for Arduino/Atmel 324P. Going to ARM means having to rebuild some of your toolkit, or finding it.

But again, it's ARM. And the "more expensive one" is 32bit.
