    I don't like anything I consider "critical", which was explicitly in the question, being of shoddy quality. Doesn't matter if it's for a job or for home.

    Commercial products, up to the level critical infrastructure, like power plants and distribution, major telecoms, and chemical factories (and I'm not entirely sure about those) are no better designed and built than a Raspberry Pi or Arduino.

    The ones I sell as (part of) a solution most definitely are. RPis and most Arduino boards are underengineered pieces of garbage as far as stability, reliability, and quality of components goes.
