Similar products exist, but I don’t think any of the others have quite the same level of official and community documentation.

I haven't looked into it in years but Arduino used to be pretty similar.

Arduino is a microcontroller, Rpi is a SoC that runs an OS... quite different.

Similar situation. Arduino made microcontrollers accessible to the masses like raspberry made low cost computing accessible.
