I wish many manufactures would begin adding Pin mux inside MCU, like espressif. So most of the time you don't care which pin has which function, and make designing pcb for it much less painful.

Nordic's nRF family is the major other vendor I've seen doing this, almost all peripheral can be on any pin. It's definitely a big help for designing boards.
PIO kinda sorta does this but yeah the Pico could definitely benefit from a more flexible pin mux, since bringing up PIO peripherals is messy.
Pico never quite has a function where it’s needed.
Definitely - the ESP32S3 is an absolute joy to work with and layout.
