@sj_zero from an environmental point of view that's also a same. There are a lot of thin clients that make very good little servers, and businesses tend to throw away a bunch when it's upgrade time.
That article is also interesting because it says they are prioritising OEM vendors instead of us mere mortals. I feel that is partially worsened by the closed hardware nature of the raspberry pis, you can't just give someone the schematics and have them manufacture it

What kind of thin clients? I wonder if it would be worthwhile to compile a list that people could use to find used computers for their projects.

True, repurposing low energy systems like those is a clear win.
