That’s pretty interesting. I wasn’t aware of those.
That said, Allwinner call in an application processor, so it’s a microprocessor not a microcontroller - 32MB RAM is quite a bit above even higher-end microcontrollers (which generally are more like 8MB Flash and a lot less than that RAM).
Looking at the specs you could do like a mini Linux phone with one (resolution 1280x720 😀), though 32MB RAM isn’t enough for X-Windows.
True that one is indeed a bit overkill compared to MCUs, but I’ve worked with it extensively and it I indeed able to be used bare metal through xboot/awboot. It’s larger cousins like the v851s and T113-S3 aren’t as easy though.
