Interesting, there are probably counts of the sales of the models somewhere. My suspicion is that the popularity increased over time so that there were probably more 3Bs than anything else. I have 3 3Bs and 4 Zeros. I had a model B and a Zero die. I guess I've just gotten used to it but these 3Bs seem about as fast what I would have considered a "standard" Dell Intel workstation 10 years ago, but that was Windows too. At about 1/10 of the price with much less energy. Any program that's too slow I consider bloatware and get rid of it. My phones are armv7 too.
