The pragmatist in me asks what use case demands the features/horsepower of the Pi 5?
It costs more, consumes more power, gets hotter, doesn't fit existing cases, likely needs active cooling, usually needs a heftier power supply, yada yada yada
I got one because I always have to have at least one of every shiny new thing (you should see my box full of SBCs I've toyed with) but my favorite Pis for my moOde players are a Zero 2 W and a 3A+.
Oh, and according to Adafruit the second Pi 5 I ordered last fall *might* be shipped by this April.
I figure this second P 5 with its 8 GB memory will become an ARM compute server and the first, Pi 5 with 4 GB, will be used in various projects I hope to start before I die
