The pi was always slow.

Its point is that its it costs less than $20 to have a working linux machine with GPIO. Not only that, it has all the documentation to allow most people to get from 0-flashing lights.

It was and is an educational platform.

the same with the rp-2040. Its a cheap, lowish power device that easy to program, has great documentation and is versatile.

If you're trying to run docker on it in production, then you have the wrong platform.

It's "can't even run a web browser and nothing else" slow.

The Pico is a completely different system and use case.
