Not just mobile phone development, any HW job or embedded engineering usually involves these proto/dev boards.

It's just a tool that was used for the development of an electrical device. What's next? An article about the screwdriver that was used to assemble the first prototypes?

Laypeople and technical people from other domains are usually not privy to these things, and they can be very interesting indeed.

Imagine if all the machine learning guys came out of the woodwork whenever someone posted an "inside look at the machine learning black box" type of article in order to declare that the article is pointless because everyone knows this stuff.

Well an article about the technical history of the screw driver would be interesting.
