The Pi is $55 without any accessories... With accessories it's way over $100.

Not really. It's made to run headless, and isn't always used for compute tasks. I use mine for running servos. But accessories for the desktop are also not included, so your point doesnt stand regardless.

Oh his point stands, as soon as you add a case and a power adapter/cable you're near 100$.

Oh his point stands,

No it doesn't. The power supply is 8$ and the case is 10$, from the official store. That's 72$. Stop lying.

You're funny. That makes the total 77$. Still not the 100$ + required accessories that a desktop needs.

You won't be running a Pi5 without a cooler, the kit costs 79$ or 99$ (for the 8GB of RAM). I never said it was over 100$.

Now HP Mini i5 8th gen + 16GB of ram + 256GB NVME that obviously has a case, a LOT of I/O, PCIe (m2) comes with a power adapter and outperforms a RPi5 in all possible ways costs you 100$ as well. And then there's the 4 and 5th gen Mini PCs selling for 50-70$. If you want even cheaper then look for i3 CPU + 4 GB of RAM, you’ll find 40$ complete machines that run faster and are way better than a Pi
