If not the 4b there are half a dozen cheaper RPi systems that are way more power efficient and capable for this use case.

Imo Raspberry Pi may have shot itself in the foot trying to make bank by overselling the 4B to business customers who didn't need them which exacerbated their shortage for people who DID need them.
