Yeah nowadays they’re like $100 for even the most basic unit

    Raspberry Pi B+ on AdaFruit for $29.95

    I agree with you that it sucks that the latest gen aren't $45 anymore, but they still make and sell a $30 computer. If anyone can do better I definitely want to know.

    Enterprise thin clients are cheaper and faster, though they use more power with x86/64 cpus

    Pretty much.
    A few years ago I got an hp t620 thin client with an older AMD embedded quad core cpu for like 25€. I ran my home server on that for a while until I upgraded to something bigger.
    You can still get the same device for pretty much the same price. You can even upgrade storage and RAM fairly easily (and cheaply, since it’s DDR3 and m.2 SATA).
    And if CPU-Monkey is to be believed, it has about the same CPU performance as a RasPi 4 and 4x the graphics performance.
