So many products would be better if they just used a Wemos S2 mini or similar $5 microcontroller board.

I understand why everything uses custom designed stuff for cost, but I don't get why people think it's somehow the better or more "professional" approach to do everything yourself.

Modular stuff with common high level modules is just so much easier to repair, modify, and recycle.

We need an ISO standard for these little modules so we can get back to vacuum tube era level of repairability.

Nearly all modern gadgets(General purpose computers and phones aside) could be made from a common set of 30 or so modules plus minimal custom stuff.
