These are also easy to DIY with a raspberry pi, rfid card reader, some blank cards, and phoniebox [0] for the software. I don't have much electronics experience and had it up and running fairly easily for under $40.

I thought the same before we actually got a Yoto. This is one of those "I could easily DIY that" things that you really couldn't.
I have a DIY one, which took two evenings, but it's limitation is that it isn't portable.
I expect there are big benefits to portability, but I'm okay with not having them.
Is there anything else I'm missing?
Access to the audiobooks published for Yoto. Yoto daily (daily podcast for kids that my kids absolutely love). A button that plays relaxing music to help them go to sleep. The display (they love this a surprising amount). General polish (I imagine it's pretty janky if it took 2 evenings).
