If power consumption isn't the be all end all concern for you, there is a lot to be said for the ability of x86 to boot into just about anything. You still don't get that with ARM.
No one would want to buy this to use with high-demanding applications, but for hobbies and trivial stuff. With that said, even a Orange pi zero 3 is "better" than both Rpi 5 and the n100.
tl;dr: The magic word is convenience.
Oh it depends on what you need it for. There's definitely some things socs are better for. No need to be up in arms about it.
