RPi also has a large team of payed software engineers.

It also has more cores (4) thus they can waste cpu-cycles.

They also "force" you to upgrade your kernel.. ;)

We've got users on 3.8.x, 4.4.x, 4.9.x, 4.14.x, 4.19.x, including
no-SMP, SMP, NON-RT, RT and Xenomai kernel variants, all still
working, with no payed developers. Then the whole UIO vs
REMOTEPROC_PRUSS too..

Personally, i like having the kernel NOT tied to the root file system,
it allows you to better optimeze for YOUR system.
