The problem with Arduino is that, whatever microcontroller they're using can be easily sourced by anyone else. That's why it's so easy to clone them.

For Raspberry Pi, those mobile phone SoC are rather difficult to source. You need to have contact with the SoC vendor to get a hand on them.



Sure, but "real" industry users want support for the hardware and software. They will pay for support contracts and customization if it saves them in house labor time.
