<div class="">Far from being obsolete, there are about a zillion
applications, but they’re often so small as to be overlooked. I
think you’re just thinking on the wrong scale. Think of all the
tiny, simple stuff, not the things that *you’d* program.</div>

Could be.<br>
I was looking the other day for cheap 8bit PIC prices on RS
components, and the cheapest 8pin STM32G0 was cheaper at ~ the
same qty.<br>
But that was a quick glance, not very thourough, I could have
overlooked cheaper ones far less capable.<br>
So that would then look to me like, maybe an "obsolete choice" for
an ever wider area of applications, or, conversely, the best
choice for a shrinking area of applications (due to better specs
for same price of the simpler 32bit ones, including specs of
internal peripherals - where the application requires or benefits
from it).</p>
