With so many SBCs and mini PCs, what’s the advantage of PI, I wonder.

The support for X86 is better and we are talking about 10W power consumption.

Maintained open source software. So many alternatives have shady patches on unmaintained Linux with weird drivers.

Life is too short to deal with that.

That's not a problem you have with mini PCs. Quite the opposite, mini PCs have a software library at least 2 orders of magnitude larger, multiple options of commercial OSs and very mature Linux support.
