Is there a point to Raspberry Pi anymore now that much cheaper alternatives like Banana Pi, Orange Pi or Radxa exist?

I think it depends on what you need it to do. Historically, Raspberry Pi was one of the few SBCs that could produce a fractional video frame rate, for example; others would have to skip or duplicate frames to approximate it. (I don't know if things have changed in this area lately.) Also, this model has a real PCIe port, which has advantages over USB bridges.
