Eben Upton says hobbyists remain "incredibly important" while he's involved.

"If people think that an IPO means we're going to … push prices up, push the margins up, push down the feature sets, the only answer we can give is, watch us. Keep watching," he said. "Let's look at it in 15, 20 years' time."

    Pine64 or Odroid would be my bet for scooping up the market for compute heavy workloads, and Arduino already has the low end pretty well covered. the RPI's strongest area IMO is the middle, where you need more compute power than an Arduino but want to minimize power consumption, which is what the pico and above that zero can fill, there are clones that use the RP2040 chip that do fill that niche as well but that chip is still made by RPI.
