EE community should be thankful to Arduino for having all the low cost development board options today. It made more positive impacts than negative in the educational and hobby marketplace, and impacted also the whole microcontroller industry as well. Some say teensy is OK but Arduino is not, teensy exists thanks to Arduino (I am not talking about the Arduino branded boards, but about the whole ecosystem)

madires:
This thread isn't about Arduino love/hate stories. ;)

low cost , or low quality ? or both ?
Arduino may be low cost but (hardware) design wise it's pretty poor. And that's the original one. we're not even talking the cheapo knock-offs.
insufficient rail capacitance, bad layout , crap regulators, no protection anywhere , weirdo pin spacing.

Good enough for 99% of the use cases and you are still looking only at the HW aspect, not seeing the whole picture.  It had huge impact on STEM education.  Schools spent thousands on expensive Lego robot kits and now they can spend the same and reach a much bigger audience.

Wilksey:
I voted No purely because it doesn't seem relevant, there is no Beaglebone or RPi subsections, or BluePill etc so why create one for Arduino, then what, break it out into Mega, Nano, Uno etc?  I think it'd get too convoluted too fast.

Plus you have a TON of resources about Arduino already, Adafruit is probably your best bet for a library as first port of call for example.
