Addressing specific markets only works if you do it uniquely or better. The simplified Arduino tooling works on the ESP32, which is also the cheaper and better option.

Good point. Are there ready made ESP32 boards good for education?

Just google ESP on AliExpress. Tons of different dev boards available.

People rate the ESPs from DF robot.

They aren’t cheap but they also provide support and a good to deal with. https://www.dfrobot.com/

But that Arduino tooling and all the libraries, tutorials, etc. wouldn't exist if nobody had bought Arduinos. If I'm just buying a few boards for personal projects I like to support companies that provide more than just hardware to the maker community.
