there are so so so so so many little guys that obliterate a pi 5 in perf but are built better, have more useful IO, will run more software, etc. that i can't think of a single reason to own a pi unless you really do need that gpio. you just need to find the right eBay search terms. you don't even need to get all that little - for thirty bucks you can get a lenovo thinkcenter tiny and it's just a PC with m.2 and dual DisplayPort and whatnot, might even include a Windows license if you're into that. i think corps have thrown away more of these things than the number of raspis ever made
I have one that just, runs DDR. That's all it does. I press a button on the front, DDR starts up. They're so plentiful that you can get them to just do one task and do it well.
