This looks like a nucleo144, except its risc-v... but why would I use it over said nucleo144?

Because it's like 5x cheaper and beats it out spec wise in almost every way?

Better connectivity. The Nucleo 144 only has 100mbit ethernet, as far as I can tell, but the new ESP chip has gigabit, along with wireless.

WiFi+BLE?

		And even if you don't need WiFi + BLE for a particular project, you may need it for other projects, and it might have value for you to standardise on one ecosystem.
