They have more features though, like extra Ethernet, PCIe brackets and M2 slots on the board

Those features don’t mean shit if you can’t use a modern OS after a couple of years.

Why could you not run a modern OS after a couple of years? Those SBC manufacturers did not invent an entirely new processor architecture for their computers, you can just generically compile the kernel (plus maybe some slight device tree work).

Not always. I have numerous old now useless SBCs that never merged their shit with the mainline linux kernel so my only option is to run something 10+ years old.
