The pi has already been losing out to clone boards, so not a huge loss tbh.
The Pi's hardware is behind the clone boards but it's still well ahead of them all in terms of software support from what I've heard. Maybe the incoming IPO driven enshittification will cause the community to coalesce around one of the clones and give it a comparable level of support.
Pine64 or Odroid would be my bet for scooping up the market for compute heavy workloads, and Arduino already has the low end pretty well covered. the RPI's strongest area IMO is the middle, where you need more compute power than an Arduino but want to minimize power consumption, which is what the pico and above that zero can fill, there are clones that use the RP2040 chip that do fill that niche as well but that chip is still made by RPI.
