I know its more expensive than a PI but:-
1. Router models seem to come and go like the sun in a UK summer. Whilst PIs evolve I
can't see them vanishing.
2. Its possible to make the PI pretty much plug-and-play. I have a Pi running PI-Star and
can connect to DMR and YSF. Wouldn't it be great if it could do so over 44net.

True, but remember that you can buy a MikroTik RB750Gr3 for the same
amount of money and you have 5 ethernet ports plus USB without the
hassle, and it runs as a router without further software installation. When
you want to run applications, you can always add a Pi4 connected to one of
its ports.
People sometimes remark "but $59.95 for that router that is more expensive
than a Pi"
but remember it comes with an enclosure, memory, and a powersupply. To
a Pi you need to add an enclosure, SD card, and a powersupply at minimum
and then possibly USB ethernet adapter(s).

"Exotic" hardware and VLANs are not

the speeds the average
non-BGP-advertised ham needs, a Pi4 with an
additional USB-connected Ethernet port will work just fine and meet any
necessary performance goals and be the most approachable format for both
connecting wires and online help availability. Given that, in general, you can't
buy the older Pis anymore I would think most people are getting a Pi4.
