pico does have 40 pins, and yes I develop all c/python on it under x86 linux, you can also develop it on a Raspberry Pi.

I mean the 2x20 header. It's become a standard for Linux SBCs but not for microcontrollers.

The Pico doesn't let you use a Raspberry Pi with ssh to develop your code using the very same hardware modules that you will use on the microcontroller. You need to either make a mess of jumper cables, or cross compile and transfer the executable constantly over serial.
