It's relatively cheap and not many boards like that come with a x86 chip (which makes tinkering a lot easier) and a PCIe expansion slot. How it looks doesn't really matter if you have in somewhere hidden in a cupboard, like most home-server are.

But is it really that cheap for its performance? And lack of upgradeability?

I'd argue, most people would fare better with a regular thin client.
