Only the right enthusiast would pay more for worse performance just for the size.
Not just size. There’s also lack of setup (works out of the box), low noise levels, reliability, and don’t forget HDMI CEC. These things all matter for a living room machine IMO.
If you build your own, kernel and firmware updates for the components can be a mixed bag.
