But the BB is ~$50? Literally 10x?

It ain't $5 if I can't fab it at that price.

I can get a Raspberry Pi 2/3 for $35. That's a real price that reflects the Bill of Materials.

However, I still can't get a datasheet or support from Broadcom. That's a dealbreaker.

Feel free to use RPi's in your projects or for small volume. But if you need real volumes, use a Beaglebone Black/Green.
