A comment on EsPiFF: An ESP32 in the Raspberry Pi form factor. Parent comment
That's probably why the esp series caught on so quick: way cheaper than rpi, Arduino+wifi, way smaller than both, and still had int wifi.
They saw this, and the RPI2040 has all of the above. Python, low power, low cost, integrated WiFi.
The smaller BOM should also make this less likely to sell out permanently.
