Pinetbook trending gets attention, but the real signal is Sign In with Pi owning the account layer. Every app that skips building its own login system automatically inherits the same user base from day one.

That's a structural moat for $PI — way more defensible than just counting how many apps exist. Distribution matters more than raw numbers. When you control identity and authentication, you control the rails every developer needs. That's platform leverage, not vanity metrics.
