Pine64 or Odroid would be my bet for scooping up the market for compute heavy workloads, and Arduino already has the low end pretty well covered. the RPI’s strongest area IMO is the middle, where you need more compute power than an Arduino but want to minimize power consumption, which is what the pico and above that zero can fill, there are clones that use the RP2040 chip that do fill that niche as well but that chip is still made by RPI.
