I use both. They're cheap as chips, so why not?

ESP32 doesn't have RP2040's PIO. It's just amazing, and can easily emulate RGB display controller or whatever you want it to. Even software HDMI with most CPU power still available. Thus bitbanging possibilities are endless, and this chip can sometimes replace an FPGA.

Pi Pico W boards also indeed have Wifi and recently bluetooth was enabled.

RP2040 also overclocks pretty easily, and people have pushed it even past 400 MHz. Wouldn't overclock in anything important, but for hobby projects — why not! It's about as fast per clock as dual core ESP32 (except for DIV & FPU math).

Both chips have their uses. For example ESP32 got HW FPU and integer division division, those can really help in some cases.
