I was thinking the same thing.

I love the pi and have many of them. But their beauty seems to come out at the edge where things are low power and they replace nonsense IOT devices.

To replace a server or desktop is a stretch. That's where using a pi is death by 10,000 papercuts. The super-competitive low end PC market gives you so many things for free, like good power supplies, a wide variety of cases and silly things like power switches and a clock with a battery.
