I really don't know who this is targeted at. As a development board these are extremely expensive and as a mini computer you're far better off with something N100 based or similar.
What market is this trying to compete in?
It's targeted at someone who wants a board with some memory on it. Memory prices and supply shortages are insane at the moment
To me it seems like they are just cannibalizing their customer base that bought into their ecosystem early.
Ecosystem bought in does not require you to buy the latest and most expensive board.
The Pi 1 model B+ was released in 2014. They still make and support it today and will keep doing it until at least 2030. You can just buy that instead. They are not apple.
Feels like they’re just surfing the name recognition wave at this point.
