There are three uses for Pi. One is cheap computer, but Pi is never good at that and miniPCs have gotten cheap. Two is IoT, ESP32 is good choice for simple things and Pi Zero for bigger things. Three is for small servers and dedicated computers. Pi is perfect for that, it is cheaper than miniPCs, is smaller, and uses less power.
Lots of people in this post have mentioned uses like that. I want to make outdoors ADS-B receiver, and Pi will fit in enclosure and be powered by PoE. I want to make GPS time server, and Pi has PPS input on header. I want to make portable ham radio box, and Pi can be powered by 12V DC.
