I like how the models have varying degrees of accuracy eg. a Raspberry Pi 4B some are simple volumetric, others seem to have every surface mount component which is crazy... wonder if that was 3D scanned.

More likely the detailed ones came out of ECAD systems that often include 3d models in their component libraries so you can automatically visualize/model the finished product while designing a board, and integrate with physical CAD for designing enclosures and other mechanical parts.
