I haven't found a lack of documentation, examples, or available experts with most of the microcontrollers I use. It's great the RP2040 has those, but it's not a unique advantage to them.
The RP2040 does have a great advantage for people who are new to the microcontroller game, though! For me, personally, that doesn't matter much because I'm not new at this.
I agree, in a one-off or small run project, the cost of the microcontroller is usually irrelevant. I only mentioned it because when all else is equal, I'll go for the least expensive option anyway.
