I don't know how you reach that conclusion; the network connectivity of pi's suck (especially pi5) and out of the box they do not support any traditional storage except for a couple of external usb drives.

The use as a low cost desktop is a primary mission statement of theirs, so I don't really read that part as a criticism though. I think it's probably the only thing it really does well.

Agree on your other points though. Other vendors have made lots of headway in the SBC markets in the years that Pi hasn't been able to ship product. I'm sorry in a way that they have not achieved their lofty goals, but in another way I'm not sorry because they really have been fucking it up bad for the last few years.
