There is no good commercial reason to go with a pic, there are cheaper 8bit MCU s like 0.01$ cheap or even less, or as you said arm ones that are much faster, with free tooling and good JTAG/swd debugging. However there are millions of PICs that are still used so it is useful to know these things.

I haven’t looked into the ultra cheap stuff in a while, are you talking about other 8 but mcus from major manufacturers or the ultra cheap no name alibaba stuff? PICs historically have good data sheets which is worth a non trivial amount of money
