You can use Scratch, the drag and drop flowchart programming language for young children to read and write to the gpio ports. My son did an elementary school science fair project with it.
A few years later I pulled out the same Pi and used it with Scratch to make a temporary cat litter box alarm when I needed a urine sample for the vet. I use esp32s for my projects but using the Pi took minutes instead of hours program.
What? You said it having 1GB of memory makes it an easier to program microcontroller. I’m just trying to figure out how that makes sense. The amount of memory doesn’t matter when programming it.

Can’t you do all that with a 4 or 8GB version?

Yes for more money.
