I chose my wording very intentionally. My criticism is exactly what I said.

It’s like comparing a bicycle to a light duty farm truck.

Yes, ESP32s are not exactly like RPis. And that is fine.

Do you need a full blown Linux desktop to blink a led light? Or drive a servo? Or even have a HTTP server? No.
