no, there are many replies in here where people act as such and its kinda a mystery to me in 2022. many other SBCs are arm, and many others are running debian or and can easily run the same software without 'tons of extra effort because its not a rpi'

at this point the mere thought of setting up a sbc that isnt a raspberry pi is job security and frankly im not sure why. its not like the rasberry pi 1 days
