From actually reading the content of the article, it seems like it would've been better titled, "I tried to use a Raspberry Pi 4 to do my dev work for a day." And that might have better captured the point, since I imagine a number of us have experimented with using a Pi for work, for personal projects, etc. in the past.

But the current title to my mind is a tad clickbaity, for the implied comparison I noted already.

Sometimes tinkering with electronics for it's own sake is a form of reward. Building anything really is an experience in of itself
