Being affordable was another clear advantage. These two does not apply here anymore. I might be wrong but buying a used mini pc like Nuc or SFF PCs seems to be more reasonable than buying a 80$ SBC + Case and adapter costs.

You can still buy older versions of the Raspberry Pi if you don’t need the performance of the newer ones.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure these are significantly more performant than a used mini PC.
