Well, to be clear I'm not saying it's either easy or free.

But Arduino does lower the bar for entry into C++ development significantly, even if it's not the best code.

Frankly, RPis are a bit heavy handed, and are priced to match. It's a whole lot more machine than you need for most IoT purposes, and I tend to think of them more as a mini PC than an IoT widget.

The ESP32 has wifi and bluetooth built in, and can do most anything with sensors and such you can do with an RPi, sometimes better, because it's realtime, but without the $100+ price tag, the power consumption, the size, the desk space requirements while coding it, etc.
