Coming from a University in OZ, 100's of Pi's were used in teaching and research in different schools, engineering , electronics and software.
In Primary schools I still see Laptops and iPads being used with the laptops getting replaced every few years.
In High schools, students have their own laptops.
IT support in schools is Windows and Apple.
Industry tends to want discounts due to volume but price tends to come with a quality cost.
Price, Quality, Speed.
The Sony made Pi boards quality is pretty good, cost is lower than others and the performance is ok.
There are more expensive SBCs that run faster, but it the quality there?
As someone who has had to try to fix Jetson SBCs, my answer is no.
