Why does it have to be Rpi for those kind of project, I am wondering? What stops me from buying a NIC or even a bare-board PC for the project?

A NIC? Or a NUC? I am not sure exactly how Vodafone have packed the boards in their little black box, but presumably you could DIY something similar, though I guess it helps to be a carrier for making th SIM? eSIM? work. It is sort of odd they didn't build it around the Compute Module though, I thought it was really intended for these commercial customers.
