Given the fact that a single Arduino costs about half the price of an RPi...

The only reason I would consider buying an Arduino (or similar) is for super-low-power applications.

Yeah, that's what it's meant for. RasPi is a computer, Arduino is a microcontroller. Different tools for different jobs.

Yeah, but my point is that Arduino has a much higher premium than a Raspberry pi.

Otherwise RPi would have been copied a long time ago at a lower price.
