I suppose the headline might be true if "PC" means "a computer with an x86 processor that can mostly run modern Windows."

But, I'd recommend most people in this market look at either a Raspberry Pi or a Chromebook, depending on what they're trying to do.

I think ARM would be allowed, but for a layman to consider it a PC, you probably do need the windows capabilities.

Raspberry Pi actually made a model that is built into a keyboard. I think it’s called the 400. And it’s less expensive than the PC linked above

That may very well be. What's the windows support like/does it come with windows pre-installed?

I may personally hate windows with a passion, but if we're talking about the layman's definition of "PC", I think that's still a hard requirement. Especially this side of the "I'm a mac/I'm a PC" commercials.

Well, lately, that’s about the price of an Rpi… and this thing does come with keyboard and pointing device.

Otherwise, I would agree. The MSRP of the Pi is better, as is the feature set.
