It's not a form factor, it's an entire package. Modular hardware, expansion, OS, software ecosystem...etc.

What you're saying is akin to "I have old laptops, so why would I buy a Framework?"

For it's functionality.

An RPi doesn't have any of this by default as an SoC, especially the updated wireless modules. This also allows expansion as needed for cheap modules to be connected, so the benefit of upgrades is possible. Sounds like a big win.
