Imo, arduino is also mostly a software project nowadays. While they did make a bunch of avr boards that were quite novel and interesting at the time, now they are not as good in terms of both price and performance compared to various arm-based boards.

What keeped arduino alive is a bunch of libs and arduino ide cores for various boards ppl have written over time.
