I feel like anytime a hobbyist says a Pi is the solution to your IoT or cloud problem, it's because they enjoy fiddling with the errors and getting it work. When it does, I'm sure it's rewarding, but a lot of people have other hobbies that they'd rather spend time on.

It's like telling someone who complains about video game DLC to go skiing. Yes, you might enjoy skiing, but skiing isn't a drop in replacement for the person complaining.

I think it’s more telling them to learn to mod their favourite game instead: technically it does solve it, but it’s not even in the same universe when it comes to complexity and time investment
