This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The main selling point of a Raspberry Pi is that the "compatible" boards often... aren't. Instead of the well-supported, plug-and-play experience you get with a Raspberry Pi, with other boards even people like Jeff Geerling often struggle to get them to work. Also, the Raspberry Pi has excellent documentation, a large community for support, etc., whereas with alternative boards you end up having to hunt around for documentation and download firmware off obscure Chinese websites and whatnot.
I'll have to dig deeper as I don't use RPi anymore or its clones. Like I said in my other comment, some hardware might work, other might not but I know for sure I gave up on original RPi because if I have to hunt one down for more than a year with constant promises in increased production, then it's no longer a product and we simply have to move on to something else.
Edit: Also many things that were stated in that video are simply not true but they are coming from not understanding Linux as a platform and by their own admission they are not a developer towards whom these boards are usually targeted. Understandable frustration, but I wonder if it's really that difficult as claimed to make these work. Randomly flashing images from internet is rarely going to result in a successful boot if you don't understand how things work.
