With the exception of LLM it's just a bit incrementally better? Like I game on full hd, I have an old pc that can compile anything (why do it on a rpi 😁?!)... A simple web page can be done on an esp, and way less if you want the hassle of course.

I mean go ahead, but for me it's not really better enough to be worthwhile.

And LLM hardware is way too expensive still, IMO.
