I'm surprised nobody makes an affordable PCI or maybe even USB GPIO box.

To me, the RasPi served two purposes:

  • if you wanted GPIOs and the associated ecosystem of hats/shields/capes/straightjackets but a less barebones experience than a bare metal MCU
  • RiscOS, because an Archimedes is far rarer than even an Amiga or ST in the Rogue Colonies

I would add:

  • if you wanted direct and low-latency access to cameras (for machine vision)

I feel you. I have a used Moxa E2210 for IOs. I prefer not to think how much I paid for that.
