even if every pi disappeared overnight there are a dozen clones you could drop in as a replacement the day after. in 10-20 years time. you'll be able to find something that can run emulate the os or computer you want.
Are there though? I’d call those other boards a pi-like but their software stacks are often abandoned shortly after they ship. Unlike the offline by default of the 8-bit era these are going to need updates and support in an ever hostile world - just my thoughts on the subject.

Fair enough. Lot of quality SBC boards in that lot. I bought a lot of junk during the dark times when Pi 4 was scarce. Now that Pi4 and Pi5 are ramping up production and available again its hard to choose a less mainstream board. My uncle sent me an N100 board to play with. FAST AF, but man howdy do I feel like it has a shelf life in years at best.
