There are plenty of not-arduino microcontrollers that can do this.

To your reply-writer, how do you think those products came to be, many of them are productization of hobbiest projects.

The arduino project jumpstarted a whole ecosystem, but I don't that ecosystem needs arduino anymore.

Sure. I'm responding to this bit:

Mine's on a nRF52840 board. My point is less about Arduino and more about tinkering.

It sounded like OP was saying they couldn't think of any interesting things to tinker with since everything they could think of is already a product on amazon. So in this case it isn't about alternatives to Arduino, it's about alternatives to reactive LED lights for your skis.
