Meh. They got lucky because they didn’t use affected hardware due to valuing price over performance. It’s certainly not because of any brilliant insight or preventative measures they took.

You're joking, right? Raspberry pi is a toy computer — which is entirely related to why it was unaffected by speculation leaks. It does not fulfill the same needs as full size x86 chips.
