Raspberry Pi and clones/alikes are ARM devices with perfect Linux support.

Raspberry Pi is one of the least open platforms around.

Broadcom SOCs preferred by Raspberry Pi require proprietary blobs to function, and much of their functionality is buried under a mountain of NDAs.

That's the current norm for GPUs, no? The Raspberry Pi just happens to use a SoC where the GPU is the primary processor. I wouldn't say it's worse - it's maybe slightly better but still close to par.
