I'm sorry but this is just BS. Raspberry Pi are not garbage.
With good software, and by that I don't mean barely tested Java or Nodejs HomeKit wannabe services, Pis are rock solid.
I'm into SDR (software defined radio.) I have written software which processes 8MB of samples per second, and runs for months without reboot. It means 90-100% CPU load, 100% of the time.
Oh, and the same Pi also hosts AirPlay server and manages ~10 Arduino devices in spare cycles.
The hardware is crap. The broadcom chips they use are cheap pieces of crap. The watchdog timer doesn't work. They have a tendency to corrupt microsd cards. Power filtering is bad. Remember this? https://www.theverge.com/2015/2/10/8010457/raspberry-pi-2-cr... There have been any number of issues, over and over again. Maybe they've improved some in the last couple of years but my time is too valuable to continue to waste dealing with these pieces of junk.

Bad software can make any device useless.
