I doubt that. Android has advantages only for consumer devices.
Anything with Cortex-A35/Cortex-A32/Cortex-A34 may be useful only for some embedded devices which run Linux. They are much slower than even the chips with Cortex-A53 that were used in the cheapest smartphones from more than a decade ago.
In fact anything with Cortex-A35/Cortex-A32/Cortex-A34 is too slow to be useful for anything, because much faster chips with Cortex-A55 are available at much lower prices from vendors like Rockchip and several others. Even some much better SBCs with Intel Atom CPUs are available for a price 4 times lower.
A board with Cortex-A55, PCIe, USB 3 and with everything else that the author of the TFA desired can be bought for a 10 times lower price than that ST development system.
I am using a lot of ST development boards, but they are various versions of the cheap Nucleo boards, which have an excellent price/performance ratio.
Their more expensive boards and more expensive microcontrollers that can run Linux are not competitive in price and features with the boards using cheaper N-series Intel CPUs or with the boards using various Cortex-A55, Cortex-A520, Cortex-A76, Cortex-A78 or Cortex-A720 that are available from Chinese vendors.
